Regardless of whether something like that happens I don't think the snow will be out of the Red River Valley (including Winnipeg) until at least 2-3p.m. this afternoon. Since the RADAR is showing more intense precipitation over Winnipeg, and a tilt to the left I think your timeline might be closer to the real exit time. If we go with 5 or 6 p.m. that would be an absolute end to snowfall. That also makes me think that Winnipeg will reach 10cm. I would be interested to know what you get for snowfall, so keep me posted.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-3078158818631466452009-01-03T10:38:00.001-06:002009-01-03T10:38:00.001-06:00Scott do you think its going to take till midnight...Scott do you think its going to take till midnight for this to move east of Winnipeg?

The snow is surfacing to our south and west. So I don't think Winnipeg is going to see much out of this initial shot tonight. Snow will increase overnight then continue Saturday with the inverted trough.. up to 10 cm still looks reasonable for Winnipeg, perhaps higher amounts if the snowfall ratios are high enough. Still looking like more snow to our south and east Saturday as Scott has mentioned.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
