That's correct.. the lowest maxim...Anonymous..<br /><br />That's correct.. the lowest maximum temperature in March was -26.7C on March 7 1880 (with a record low of -37.2C that day as well) As of 3 pm, the high temperature at YWG airport today has been -27.0C. We'll just have to wait and see if it can stay below that -26.7C mark over the next couple of hours.. but it's possible! robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-21436977635288712462014-03-01T15:20:54.062-06:002014-03-01T15:20:54.062-06:00Rob, I wonder if the coldest daytime high max for ...Rob, I wonder if the coldest daytime high max for the month of March at -26.7C will be beaten today ??

For Winnipeg, previous coldest wind chill was -49 on March 1 1962 (when we hit our record low of -37.8C that day). Note that wind chill records only go back to 1953... It's possible some of those cold March days in the 1800s may have had colder wind chills, but we don't have wind chill readings for back then. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-55377923035768373692014-03-01T13:15:44.825-06:002014-03-01T13:15:44.825-06:00Winnipeg, Regina and Saskatoon all broke their all...Winnipeg, Regina and Saskatoon all broke their all-time March wind chill lows this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-23543994463636310292014-03-01T11:28:41.803-06:002014-03-01T11:28:41.803-06:00Did we have the same setup in the winter of 2008-9...Did we have the same setup in the winter of 2008-9. If so I see the point you make about Artic ice extent. The same thing appears to occur in the winter of 2008-9 .With the 2006 and 2007 record summer melts and the 08-09 djf -20,-19.4,-14.7.

Looking at the first 2 weeks of this March, we are going so far below normal, that we it would seem that we go worse than last year. Here's hoping the second half is much warmer.<br /><br />March 1st and 45 cm snow depth is something I have never seen in my lifetime!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-75772675515626729482014-03-01T06:41:53.323-06:002014-03-01T06:41:53.323-06:00Rob,

February will finish with an average temperature of -20.0C, our third month in a row with a monthly average of -20C or lower. That's only happened one other time in Winnipeg since 1872, during the winter of 1886-87. That shows how persistent the cold has been this winter.. though not necessarily record cold. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-80728326133139308092014-02-28T23:31:17.663-06:002014-02-28T23:31:17.663-06:00Thanks for the comments Tom!

Can you post a windchill forecast for Winnipeg and southern Manitoba for the next 24 hours, by any chance?<br /><br />You can try SpotWx for some great graphs that display 3-hourly values of temperature and windchill for any location. Here's the link for Winnipeg (SpotWx graphs for Winnipeg accessible from my main website under the forecast graphic)<br /><br />http://spotwx.com/products/grib_index.php?model=gem_reg&lat=49.90403&lon=-97.22588&tz=-6<br /><br />Unfortunately, these graphs use Flash software, so they're not accessible on many mobile devices.
