Storm Total

Official snowfall total here in Charleswood... 15 cm, including 9 cm between noon and 3 pm. Snow stopped around 3:30 pm. Sure looks a lot more Christmassy around here now!

Winter Storm update 3

Snow continues to fall moderate to heavy at times this afternoon in Winnipeg with another 4 or 5 cm since noon, and about 10 or 11 cm since the snow started. Radar shows the bulk of the snow should be moving out of Winnipeg by 3:30 or 4 pm as this storm system moves off to the northeast. By then we'll be close to 15 cm of snow by the time it's all over. Roads are a mess across Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba.. expect a SLOW commute wherever you go.

Winter Storm Update 2

Wow.. radar has really filled in from Winnipeg south, with solid precipitation all the way down to Grand Forks. This means it will be snowing moderately to heavy in Winnipeg all afternoon, perhaps 2-3 cm per hour, so it looks like Winnipeg will end up with about 15 cm of snow by evening.. perhaps up to 20 cm in some areas. (As of noon, I've had about 6 cm so far) Snow should taper off this evening.

Winter Storm Update

I've had about 3-4 cm of snow here in Charleswood this morning as of 9 am mixed in with some ice pellets. Radar shows most of the snow is moving north of Winnipeg, but there's still some more snow and possible freezing rain to the south that will continue to affect us through the day. Overall, it looks like Winnipeg will escape the worst of the storm with snowfall totals approaching 10 cm by evening. Further north and west though (Dauphin area, Interlake) , snowfalls will easily reach 15 or 20 cm with locally higher amounts likely.

Light snow tonight.. winter storm possible Tuesday.

Looks like a little of the white stuff will be moving into Winnipeg overnight, with a couple of cm possible by morning. That will move out Sunday, but then a significant storm system is forecast to develop over Colorado/Wyoming area Monday and move northeastward into Northwestern Ontario by late Tuesday. This storm could bring significant snow to Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba on Tuesday.. perhaps 15 to 20 cm or more, along with increasing northerly winds that could give near blizzard conditions by Tuesday evening. This one bears watching.. it could be a doozy! Stay tuned..
