And the afternoon is not over yet, so it will interesting to see if McCreary reaches double digits..<br /><br />A more detailed forecast on the snow tonight will be given later this afternoon so stay tuned for that.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-18855047515318464662012-02-20T10:31:53.530-06:002012-02-20T10:31:53.530-06:00Uncertainty in tonight's snowfall amounts stil...Uncertainty in tonight's snowfall amounts still exists, mainly because of how narrow the western edge of the area of snow will be. It seems likely at this point that the heaviest snow will fall the further southeast you are. Most models now show similar solutions, bringing 5-15 cm of snow in the extreme southeast corner of Manitoba and along the Ontario border, and 10-20 cm in eastern North Dakota. Here's my 'guesses' of snowfall amounts below:<br /><br />Portage 0-1 cm<br />Winnipeg 1-3 cm<br />Steinbach 5-8 cm<br />Sprague/Ontario border 10+ cm<br /><br />Notice how much higher snowfall amounts are just south and east of Winnipeg. That is why snowfall amounts are so uncertain at this point. If the western edge of the area of snow ends up just a bit more to the west than predicted, Winnipeg could be in for 5-10 cm, while if it ends up just a bit futher east, Winnipeg could see little to nothing.<br /><br />Stay tuned, things will be even clearer by afternoonjjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-26608408383191288492012-02-19T16:46:15.845-06:002012-02-19T16:46:15.845-06:00Warmest I've seen so far today among Environme...Warmest I've seen so far today among Environment Canada stations is 5.5°C in Brandon, which definitely surprised me. Among Manitoba Agriculture stations, 7.5°C in Souris and just over 8°C in Boissevain! <br /><br />I've reopened the poll at the top of page since we have yet to see a -30°C this winter. Feel free to vote for what you think, the poll closes next Sunday.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-3056206270959125382012-02-19T16:31:28.809-06:002012-02-19T16:31:28.809-06:00There is still great uncertainty about tomorrow ni...There is still great uncertainty about tomorrow night's storm which is expected to develop in the Central Plains of the US. Although, it is looking more and more likely at this point that we will be seeing at least SOME snow, with the majority of it falling south east of Winnipeg. Just how much, we will have to wait for tomorrow. <br /><br />The GEM has backed off slightly on the snowfall for Winnipeg, bringing the system just a tad futher south east. Meanwhile, the NAM is now pushing the storm a little further north than its earlier run. <br /><br />The RRV could very well be spared by this storm, or be direct hit as the snow shield just grazes us. Heaviest hit areas, be it NW Ontario, North Dakota or SE MB (?), could see upwards of 10 or more cm of snow with the system.<br /><br />This is really one of those forecasts that could bust very easily considering the great differences among the models, and the sharp narrow snow shield.<br /><br />Stay tunedjjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.com
