==DISCUSSION==
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WITH POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW
ARE EXPECTED.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING THE KIVALLIQ COAST FROM THE EAST
WILL BRING STRONG NORTHEASTERLY WINDS ON SUNDAY ALONG WITH 5 TO 10
CM OF SNOW.
THE COMBINATION OF 70 KM/H WIND GUSTS AND FALLING SNOW WILL GIVE
NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITIES IN FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW.
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL EASE MONDAY MORNING AS WINDS DIMINISH.
TRAVEL WILL BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY. BLIZZARD
WARNINGS ARE ISSUED WHEN NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW IS
EXPECTED.
