After three days of mild weather, plus some rain and drizzle, the 10-15 cm pre-Halloween snowfall has pretty much disappeared in Winnipeg. Generally, a 10 cm snow base at the end of October stays for the winter, however three days of above freezing temperatures (including staying above freezing at night) has given us a reprieve from the permanent snow cover and icy roads. No significant accumulating snow is expected in the Winnipeg area over the next few days and through the weekend, but then some long range models are indicating the potential for an Alberta clipper system bringing some accumulating snow to Southern MB by next Tuesday or Wednesday. So enjoy the sight of those bare lawns while you can.. It's only a matter of time before they disappear again!
The snow may have melted in Winnipeg, but the city missed out on a warm sector just to our south. As of 1 PM Grand Forks was at 18 C, Fargo was at 20 C and Redwood Falls, in southwestern Minnesota, was at a jaw dropping 27 C. Too bad we missed this last taste of summer!
ReplyDeleteI saw that! Sunny skies just to our south too helped boost those temperatures up to 13C in Morden, Gretna and Emerson.. If only that low was just a little further north!
