And by colder weather, I mean dropping to closer to normal which is now highs of -8 and lows of -18C. Just goes to show you how much above normal we are right now. <br /><br />There is still a lot of uncertainty however about how much snow we'll be seeing later this week into the weekend. We should see some snow with the Thursday system, possibly beginning as rain if temps are warm enough.. before another system tracks into Minnesota which threatens more significant snow over the weekend. But still a lot of uncertainty on the the track of that system varying from a miss to a more definite hit. Will have to wait to see more model consistency before I make any snowfall predictions. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-14686670308002769302015-12-05T21:54:46.677-06:002015-12-05T21:54:46.677-06:00Let's all enjoy while it lasts because it look...Let's all enjoy while it lasts because it looking more like the snowfree ground or close to it will come to an abrupt end by next weekend. Models particularly the GFS have been hinting at a potential significant snow event by Friday into the weekend. Obviously we will continue to monitor this over the of course of the coming week but it's just something to keep in mind if you travel plans for next weekend.<br />It is December after all.<br /><br />Rob, what are your thoughts on this potential?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-21389103640974465822015-12-04T21:46:40.779-06:002015-12-04T21:46:40.779-06:00Amazing December warmth today across southwest Man...Amazing December warmth today across southwest Manitoba, especially in areas with downslope south-southwest winds off higher elevations. Morden hit a staggering 14.2C, not only the warmest spot in Manitoba, but all of Canada. Not very often Manitoba gets hot spot honours in December! It was a record for the date (prev 12.2C in 1916) and their 3rd warmest Dec temperature ever (behind 14.4C on Dec 1 1969, and an all time high of 17.8C on Dec 6 1939. Yes, 17.8C!) Many places in SW Manitoba hit double digits, including snowfee Brandon at 11C. Winnipeg and the RRV were robbed of the very mild temperatures, with a strong southerly wind up the mainly snow covered Red River valley keeping temperatures in the low single digits (high of only +2C in Winnipeg). The snowcover however is getting sparser by the day, and with a continuation of highs above freezing the next few days, the snowpack will gradually erode even more especially south and west of Winnipeg. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-54175800558195734422015-12-02T23:45:02.403-06:002015-12-02T23:45:02.403-06:00We get into a nice westerly flow Thursday.. that w...We get into a nice westerly flow Thursday.. that will tap some of that warmer air to our west and should get Winnipeg above the freezing mark with afternoon temps climbing to +3C or so. Places like Morden and Dauphin could hit +7C. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
