Winter Storm Update
Snow has moved into southwest MB this morning with visibilities down to 1.5 miles in snow in Brandon as of 7 am. Radar indicates heavier snow down in the Melita and Boissevain areas with visibilities likely below 1 mile. The snow should continue to spread eastward this morning reaching Portage by 8 or 9 am and then Winnipeg by late morning. Snow will increase in intensity through the afternoon in Winnipeg with about 5 cm likely by late afternoon so plan for a slow drive home after work today. I expect the heaviest snow between 3 pm and midnight in Winnipeg with total snowfalls of about 10 to 15 cm. Winds will also be increasing this afternoon into this evening from the northwest which will cause poor visibilities in snow and blowing snow, especially in open areas this evening and tonight.

1 mile in snow in Portage as of 8 am.. some very light flurries now beginning to fall in west Winnipeg as of 9:40 am
ReplyDeleteSnow falling heavier now in west Winnipeg.. snow starting to coat the ground. Could be the last time we see the lawn until spring!
ReplyDeleteMB highways indicating travel not advised over southwest MB, especially along Hwy 2 west of Holland due to snow and poor visibility.
5 cm of snow here in Charleswood as of 4 pm. Snow is quite wet and sticky.. and is causing VERY slippery road conditions. Be extra cautious if out on the roads this evening as conditions will become even more slick with increasing winds and below freezing temperatures.
ReplyDeleteUp to 9 cm of snow as of 8 pm.. it's a regular winter wonderland out there! (a little too early for me though.. :)
