I can't get too excited about a couple cm of snow and high windchills. I was in Toronto yesterday during their big snowstorm.. now that was more like it! Give me a good storm over wind chills any day! <BR/><BR/>The Grand Forks outlook is referring to a more changeable pattern the next week or so due to clipper systems moving across the Prairies. However, these systems have been starved of moisture by the time they reach Manitoba, so I don't know how much snow we'll be seeing through this "stormy" pattern. But periodic strong winds and large temperature swings will be likely over the period. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps we'll have a better chance of seeing a major storm in March as the active storm track south of us pushes north, and sets up more favourable conditions for Colorado low type systems.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-4484962481343606372008-02-07T18:54:00.000-06:002008-02-07T18:54:00.000-06:00I just read the NWS Grand Forks weather story/outl...I just read the NWS Grand Forks weather story/outlook page. They are suggesting a much more changeable, stormy pattern for the next couple weeks. This could lead to a much more exciting situation than how the winter is going so far. <BR/><BR/>All we can hope for at this point is for an excellent, preferably stormy summer!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-74458215098920083262008-02-07T18:49:00.000-06:002008-02-07T18:49:00.000-06:00Possible Blizzard Friday night and Saturday for So...Possible Blizzard Friday night and Saturday for Southern Manitoba and Southern Saskatchewan. It seems like we have gotten only Blizzards this winter for active weather, and they weren't even what most would consider to be a real "Blizzard!"Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-10345285479853606622008-02-01T17:06:00.000-06:002008-02-01T17:06:00.000-06:00It will be interesting to see if what the models n...It will be interesting to see if what the models now show for the first half of February actually pans out. <BR/><BR/>Models show a definite increase in moisture, with the first shot of snow being Sunday night and to a greater extent on Monday, although models show most of Monday's snow being in extreme southern Manitoba and points south. However, they show a pretty good snow event around the 15th, but that's a long way off, so it's hard to say what will happen. <BR/><BR/>Still, when a pattern gets a bit boring, it's at least nice to see something interesting show up. Temperatures, according to the same models, look to be a little above normal next week, and even a bit warmer the following week, which would be consistent with the increased snow chances being indicated.<BR/><BR/>BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
