We cannot even melt off the snow that fell yesterday. And thats not the worse part, models bring down an arctic high right over top Winnipeg for Thursday morning. Another brutally cold nite ... just what we needed to thicken up the ice some more. Wow.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, despite the duration of this winter, the Dec-Feb mean temp was not the coldest in 15 years as forecast by Environment Canada. At least 3 winters were colder during that period, 95/96, 96/97, and of course 00/01. We deserve a medal for living here.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949425441824069047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-227897857207840952008-03-24T15:05:00.000-05:002008-03-24T15:05:00.000-05:00Picked up about 3 cm in that burst between noon a...Picked up about 3 cm in that burst between noon and 2 pm.. visibility on Wilkes was down to 300 metres at times.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-70972353102347170282008-03-24T13:27:00.000-05:002008-03-24T13:27:00.000-05:00Quite the warm front across southern MB today!

(Mar 24) Gusty southerly winds maintaining cold air in the Red River valley this afternoon (Winnopeg struggling at -3c), while west of the warm front, sunny skies and snowfree ground has allowed temperatures to soar to +10C over the Melita area! <BR/><BR/>In addition we're getting some poor visibilities in snow and blowing snow ahead of the warm front thanks to those strong southerly winds.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-70714632976004203382008-03-23T23:02:00.000-05:002008-03-23T23:02:00.000-05:00Still a ways off to offer any more insight over mo...Still a ways off to offer any more insight over models.. they seem to suggest main low will track through Dakotas with a possible inverted trof giving us some accumulating snowfall here. But still too early to say one way or another how it will affect us.. will have to wait and see how this one evolves.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-81290419578910719622008-03-23T22:42:00.000-05:002008-03-23T22:42:00.000-05:00Sorry I should have been more clear.

Models suggest Winnipeg will stay on the southern edge of heavier snow.. which make sense if the current low track is correct. Current forecast says 5 cm for Winnipeg which seems reasonable at this point... maybe even on the high side if those +2C temperatures work out.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-24259599305329265272008-03-23T15:24:00.000-05:002008-03-23T15:24:00.000-05:00Hi Rob,Have you seen this potential "Montana" Low ...Hi Rob,<BR/><BR/>Have you seen this potential "Montana" Low in the forecast? A number of us "amateur" weather watchers have been tracking it, but are unsure of what will actually happen. This is due mostly to the inconsistency in the GFS forecast. <BR/><BR/>Have you seen this in the forecast? Any thoughts of what might happen?Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.com
