Here are the two options, the new format and old format.. Let me know which one you prefer!

It doesn't look overly significant right now, but that depends on which model you look at. GEM gives Winnipeg little to nothing while the NAM brings around 5 cm or so. I'm personally leaning towards the lighter solution. 2-4 cm is expected in southwestern and western Manitoba however, with locally higher amounts possible.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-67517189752987750072013-03-09T17:05:09.801-06:002013-03-09T17:05:09.801-06:00The Photos page has now been improved.

The main concern with that band of snow this morning is how heavy the snow is with 2-5 cm in only a couple hours. Visibility below 1 km at times expected. As I already mentioned earlier, the system will slowly weaken as it moves east.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-9731464622070973022013-03-09T08:33:07.119-06:002013-03-09T08:33:07.119-06:00We're really sandwiched between two systems he...We're really sandwiched between two systems here in the RRV including Winnipeg today. A clipper system over southwestern and western Manitoba is giving those areas some steady snow this morning. 2-5 cm expected in total, including Brandon. This clipper system is expected to weaken and dissipate slowly throughout the day, therefore we likely wont get that much snow in Winnipeg. However, some light snow or scattered flurries will be possible this afternoon and evening nonetheless. It's certainly possible we could get 1 cm or so, but I'm leaning towards less than 1 cm right now. Unfortunately, the Woodlands radar is still down today which will make difficult to know if snow is coming or not.<br />To our east, a Colorado Low. At times today, that low may push a bit of snowfall along the Ontario Border, including Sprague. However, being only right on the edge of the system, only minor accumulations of 1-3 cm are expected. jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-26911721292630162562013-03-08T17:51:09.620-06:002013-03-08T17:51:09.620-06:00By the way, today marks the 57th consecutive day w...By the way, today marks the 57th consecutive day without reaching the freezing mark.

A seperate weak clipper system will offer the chance for some light snow tomorrow afternoon and evening.

These can be viewed in the 'Winnipeg forecast' tab at the top of the page.<br />The 'photos' tab is next in line for a facelift. That will be done sometime this weekend.<br />In addition, I plan to begin adding Calgary to my record books very soon.<br />Lots of improvements going on in the next week! This is because I'm trying to get all these improvements finished before summer.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-28456086534815880712013-03-07T18:30:14.350-06:002013-03-07T18:30:14.350-06:00Unfortunately the Woodlands radar is shut down rig...Unfortunately the Woodlands radar is shut down right now (I don't have access to information regarding why it has). As a result, it's hard to say how much snow we'll get this evening in Winnipeg but based on the Foxwarren radar in southwestern Manitoba, I think we'll at least get a few flurries later this evening. We likely wont see a large accumulation, a dusting to 1 cm most likely.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-46868366747988612212013-03-06T16:23:15.395-06:002013-03-06T16:23:15.395-06:00Guidance points to a miss with the Colorado Low on...Guidance points to a miss with the Colorado Low on Saturday. Not a very high chance we'll get hit, but it's good to mention just in case.

As a result, it will be a close call for Winnipeg. Right now I'm thinking 1-3 cm for the city. 5-10 cm expected north of the Trans-Canada.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-42822273097462060002013-03-06T06:42:42.964-06:002013-03-06T06:42:42.964-06:00Still expecting another clipper system tomorrow. I...Still expecting another clipper system tomorrow. It doesn't look significant for areas along and south of the Trans-Canada. The bulk of the snow is expected to stay north of the Trans-Canada. 5-10 cm will be possible from Swan River eastward (should stay north of Gimli but Gimli could get a few cm. Winnipeg will likely get some flurries but not much more. However, GEM global gives the city 6 cm but that model is just an outlier at this point. I don't think we'll see much in the city.<br /><br />Attention then goes to Saturday. A Colorado Low will be just scraping the province. Right now GEM/GFS/NAM all give only a couple to 5 cm all the way west to Winnipeg. Will have to be watched closely for trends.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.com
