A low of -1.0C at YWG airport officially ends the 2012 growing season for Winnipeg at 106 days (last freeze at YWG was May 30th at -0.1C)<br /><br />That's a very deceiving statistic however. There were only two light freezes at the airport in May, -0.1C on the 30th and -0.7C on the 16th. The last real hard freeze (-2C or lower) was April 26th at -7C. Using that date, the growing season was more like 140 days this year.. which is longer than usual (122 days) Certainly looking at how most everything has been harvested already this year, one can see the effects of an earlier than normal start to the growing season, accelerated by our record warm March. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-56406494372150844292012-09-14T09:39:37.827-05:002012-09-14T09:39:37.827-05:00Just a touch of frost on my windshield this mornin...Just a touch of frost on my windshield this morning in Windsor Park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-16854187316562354912012-09-14T06:41:15.351-05:002012-09-14T06:41:15.351-05:00A 'bone-chilling' low of -0.6 at my place ...A 'bone-chilling' low of -0.6 at my place south st vital at 6 AM.

Given dewpoints in the -1 to 1 C range.. would expect frost in some locations by morning. NWS issued frost advisory as far south as Fargo for tonite. Winds turn more southerly between 2-4 am so the airport will probably remain above freezing. Best chance for frost would be on the southwest flank of the city.<br /><br />DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-74067110349839551262012-09-13T20:27:28.764-05:002012-09-13T20:27:28.764-05:00Speaking of quality control...

We have an amplified pattern setting up next week with a ridge over western Canada and a trough over the Great Lakes which supports below normal temperatures for us. <br /><br />After that, I have no idea.. but odds are we *should* get back to an above normal pattern again. Arctic sea ice is at an all time low, so it's going to be a while before we get some deep Arctic air developing. That, along with our extended warmth of the past year, should mean a delayed start to winter, with above normal temps likely into November. But I always dread making forecasts that far out, since things can always change. However, given the exceptional warmth of the past year, the record low Arctic ice, and a developing El Nino.. one would think the odds of above normal temperatures through December are higher than below normal. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-71120865612097007252012-09-13T15:30:45.132-05:002012-09-13T15:30:45.132-05:00Rob,

I don't like attempting anything past 5-6 days, but do you think we'll rebound to warm temps again after the cooldown next week. I see NOAA is also forecasting above normal temps, and a weak El Nino developing.Garthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-53081885243430044222012-09-13T10:06:51.683-05:002012-09-13T10:06:51.683-05:00Interesting WMO announcement today.. they are offi...Interesting WMO announcement today.. they are officially rejecting Libya's long standing record of 58C (136F) in Sept 1922 as the world's hottest temperature. A WMO investigation revealed obvious problems with the temperature reading based on location and climatology, as well as possible human error. The title of world's hottest temperature now belongs to Death Valley CA, with a 56.7C (134F) reading in July 1913. Click on my name for more details..<br /><br />Interesting timing of this announcement given the recent killing of the US ambassador in Libya. robhttp://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/comment.html?entrynum=89noreply@blogger.com
