Precip has moved into Winnipeg starting as ice pellets as warmer air aloft pushes in. This may cut down on snowfall amounts if we stay as ice pellets.. although we can certainly transition to snow for awhile as well with webcams and spotter reports indicating moderate snow to our southwest. Tough to forecast how atmosphere will respond with these waves of precip and near freezing thermal profiles..
ReplyDelete1.5 cm new snow as of 1 pm at my place in SW Winnipeg. Thankfully, looks like we won't be getting those higher amounts.. although anything is too much at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteHere's a photo a took out my window. Looks more like January

Hi Rob. Those forecasted overnight lows the next while for Winnipeg, are they near record cold for this time of the year??

ReplyDeleteYes, the forecast lows of -18C Tuesday and -19C Wednesday would be record lows for those dates (currently -16.7C both days)
If we do hit -18 or -19C those days, it would be the latest in the year that Winnipeg has ever hit those temperatures, going back to 1872. Note that Winnipeg has never recorded a temperature below -15C after April 16th.

Well, we dodged a bullet somewhat in Winnipeg with yesterday's snowfall as temperatures were just warm enough aloft and at the surface to give us mixed precipitation instead of straight snow. As a result, we only picked up 2 cm of slush, while the water equivalent was more like 5-6 mm, which could have been all snow if temperatures were a couple degrees colder. Thankfully, that didn't materialize here.. but it did further north and west, with 5-15 cm along the western RRV and 15-20 cm towards Swan River area.
ReplyDeleteNow we just have the ridiculous cold to contend with the next few days.. record cold possible Monday thru Wednesday. So tired of these cold snaps that are so extreme. Looking forward to that warmer weather by Easter weekend..
