I was hoping I'd be missing any -30C weather while I was away but Mother Nature made sure to save it for when I came back. Isn't that thoughtful of her? I was hoping to start blogging about something other than clipper systems and wind chills.. but alas, doesn't look like much has changed since before I left. Will try to update the blog as soon as I find some motivation.. :)robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-43383381372023165012014-01-22T16:16:59.960-06:002014-01-22T16:16:59.960-06:00Todd..

Keep in mind that in Manitoba, EC only has 2 radars.. one at Woodlands (NW of Winnipeg) and one at Foxwarren (NW of Brandon) These radars have limited reach.. about 200 km from the radar site which goes up to just north of Swan River over to Berens River. No radar coverage north of this line.<br /><br />In Saskatchewan, EC has radars near Regina and Saskatoon. Little or no radar coverage north of Prince Albert which makes it tough tracking precip coming in from the northern Prairies. <br /><br />That being said, I find the radar viewer from A Weather Moment to be the best radar display tool.. great navigation and animation tools to monitor radar in the Prairies. <br /><br />http://aweathermoment.com/radar-viewerrobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-62267256043167450632014-01-22T15:36:49.145-06:002014-01-22T15:36:49.145-06:00Hey Rob,

Reason I ask is lately the snow has been moving in from the north west. You look on the radar and you don't see any snow on the radar. You think it is done snowing and then the snow keeps coming.<br /><br />I've looked at EC and KTIV but they don't seem to show any snow much further north than Winnipeg.<br />Any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks!Toddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-45829807855777121042014-01-22T08:24:09.019-06:002014-01-22T08:24:09.019-06:00Windchill is brutal out there this morning.

From my perspective you are providing a great service. You sure aren't being paid to do it and it's out of the goodness of your heart and your passion for meteorology. Thanks for what you do. It's always easy to ask for me but I appreciate what you are able to do for us as it stands.

As you correctly suspected, I'm not available this week to update my blog as I'm out of town for work, and have limited time to keep up on the current weather. As far as tomorrow's intense clipper is concerned, looks like a nasty morning shaping up with strong southerly winds and 4-8 cm of snow falling which will result in blowing and drifting snow with local whiteouts at times through midday. Snow should ease up in the afternoon, and then we turn considerably milder as our winds shift to the west and tap a mild Pacific airmass from the western prairies.<br /><br />Sorry I can't provide more details and updates on this upcoming system, but you may want to visit the "A Weather Moment" website to provide more details on it. AWM is an excellent resource for local weather and can provide valuable information if I'm not able to update my blog as frequently as people would like (myself included)robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-91034433358369733922014-01-14T21:16:28.451-06:002014-01-14T21:16:28.451-06:00hi Rob...
