Forecast changed again with periods of snow for today now changed again till tomorrow noon.

If this dry bias thing is true, then that amount is even higher... Rob had 753.2 mm of rain, while amounts were even higher in south/east ends thanks to some more direct hits by tstorms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-47457959024594339122013-01-29T21:10:29.577-06:002013-01-29T21:10:29.577-06:00>> Anonymous said.. 152 mm in one day wow!

And 1962 is still Winnipeg's wettest year.. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-65090226863003626972013-01-29T21:03:58.243-06:002013-01-29T21:03:58.243-06:00I picked up around 0.5-1 cm in Charleswood today.....I picked up around 0.5-1 cm in Charleswood today.. it was more of an off and on flurry type of day.

Going from 30% chance of flurries to 2-4 cm out of the blue is quite strange. Hell I can look at the radar and make these forecasts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-53956033876068689542013-01-29T12:17:54.752-06:002013-01-29T12:17:54.752-06:00How can u go from a 5am update of 30% chance of fl...How can u go from a 5am update of 30% chance of flurries to a 11am update of snow 2-4cm.
