These would be issued 24 to 36 hours in advance of the onset of the storm. <br /><br />If snowfall is expected to less intense, but still significant (i.e. > 10 cm within 12 hrs) they will issue "snowfall warnings" 12 to 18 hours in advance. These types of events do not have to be preceded by a winter storm watch. <br /><br />A special "weather warning" can be issued for the first general snowfall of the season of 5 cm or more that could cause impacts to travel. Again, these types of events do not have to be preceded by a winter storm watch, but they are sometimes preceded by a "special weather statement" such as with this event.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-44499122217717169702011-11-04T12:13:01.416-05:002011-11-04T12:13:01.416-05:00Would EC issue a winter storm watch for southweste...Would EC issue a winter storm watch for southwestern manitoba with all the snow that is being forecast?

If the storm tracks a bit further east though, we could see more. Currently though, best bet for accumulating snow still looks like areas north and west of Winnipeg over western/southwest MB/nrn Interlake, especially over higher elevations (Riding and Duck Mtns, Turtle Mtn, areas near SK border, etc) If you have travel plans out that way this weekend, be prepared for some white stuff especially late Saturday into Sunday..robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-60095362000017337012011-11-03T09:36:25.749-05:002011-11-03T09:36:25.749-05:00WOW!
