It's just a matter of what's happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere and the strength of the winds aloft that will dictate how the storm behaves. If there's no upper low, but just a strong westerly flow, the storm will track eastward faster.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-39927281935349871812012-02-23T15:11:55.586-06:002012-02-23T15:11:55.586-06:00Exactly 3.0 cm here at my place in south St. Vital...Exactly 3.0 cm here at my place in south St. Vital so far today.

Why do so many storms seem to take a West to East approach to Manitoba and then stall out and counter clock wise and sometimes even move west before they push back off. Is it have something to do with our topography or is this normal weather pattern everywhere but we just notice it here cause we live here?Darylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-58998468129768724832012-02-23T10:25:23.533-06:002012-02-23T10:25:23.533-06:00Daryl..

A faster motion may lead to lower snowfall totals, although the snow would fall heavily during the storm. Currently models are suggesting the swath of heaviest snow will remain mainly south of the intl border.. but if the storm tracks a bit further north, we could get a good dump here as well.

All long range models are indicating development of a Colorado low storm system moving into the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota by late Sunday. Right now, consensus takes bulk of snowfall and stormy conditions over Dakotas and Minnesota, with southern MB getting clipped on the northern edge of storm. However, if this thing tracks a little further NW, southern MB could be in line for a significant snowfall of 10 cm or more (along with strong winds) We'll be keeping an eye on this one!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-17955573265025258702012-02-22T09:00:18.991-06:002012-02-22T09:00:18.991-06:00Rob,
