The snow keeps coming.. After this weekend's brush with a Colorado low to our south, Southern MB will get more snow from an Alberta clipper system moving in from the west overnight into Tuesday. Some light snow is falling across southern MB today, but the main action is expected over Southern SK tonight moving into southern MB overnight into Tuesday as the clipper system becomes better organized. Current projections call for the bulk of the snow (10-15 cm) to fall across SW Manitoba south of a line from Swan River to Emerson continuing south into North Dakota (including Grand Forks and Fargo again). Winter storm watches are in effect for these areas, which will likely be upgraded to snowfall warnings later today. Winnipeg and Southeast MB should be on the eastern fringe of this system, but we could see about 5 cm of snow beginning early Tuesday.. which is all you need to make for poor travelling conditions.
Winter appears to be making up for its slow start in a hurry this year!
Huge temperature contrast on either side of the clipper storm. A balmy pacific flow to the south of the low and bitter cold arctic air getting tapped north of it. Lethbridge dropped 20 degrees in one hour ... from 6 to -14 ...ouch!
ReplyDeleteHere in Winnipeg we are getting an enhanced band of heavy snow drifting in from the north...the main area of precip is well south of us.
That should be the last of it.. things are improving quickly this afternoon. How much snow did you get Daniel?
ReplyDeleteStorm total: 10 cm here in Charleswood, snow on ground 23 cm
ReplyDeleteIn Steinbach we only has 8cm, lower than warning criteria. But I heard dominion city had 17cm, so our region was rightfully warned!
ReplyDeletethere was approx 10 cm of snow on the top of my car in central Winnipeg ... obviously not a very scientific method of measuring snow!
ReplyDeleteNow lets see how cold it gets tomorrow morning... definitely not looking forward to it
