The NAM has pushed the main area of snow even further north, putting south eastern MB in the 5-15 cm zone. Tomorrow, the forecast will be a little clearer.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-35760076007725994312012-01-20T16:32:34.110-06:002012-01-20T16:32:34.110-06:00Many models show the bulk of the snow Sunday stayi...Many models show the bulk of the snow Sunday staying to our south and east, although the NAM has been bringing us closer to that snow in recent updates. Things will be clearer tomorrow, but the heaviest hit areas could be getting some significant snow (5-10 cm + )jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-9593338401404687142012-01-20T07:41:19.856-06:002012-01-20T07:41:19.856-06:00Well, we evaded -30 C, again!

Saskatoon stands out the most to me among the big cities in this outbreak, as they had lows of -31, -38, -36, -31, -32 respectively over the past 5 days. The coldest we got in WPG is -28.9 C. I will provide some more stats in a new post tonight.<br /><br />Get ready for a warmup! Today is the last day of frigid cold for a while. Temperatures may even try to push the freezing mark by late next week, although it is a little early to draw to conclusions. Models hint at us cooling down during the last couple days of the month, or to start February, so don't be fooled, winter is not over just yet! Our chances of snow also increase along with the warmer weather though.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-81890444177776316852012-01-19T21:28:39.134-06:002012-01-19T21:28:39.134-06:00Temperatures are struggling to cool down :P Still...Temperatures are struggling to cool down :P Still -24 C at the airport as of 9 PM, with a SW wind of 15 km/h. There is still a chance we may reach -30 C in the early morning as winds diminish a bit overnight, although I would not be surprised if we evaded -30 C again...jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-60304811545856455522012-01-19T17:57:17.923-06:002012-01-19T17:57:17.923-06:00Even though the wind will be from the west or sout...Even though the wind will be from the west or south west overnight, it will be lighter than it was last night. As a result, I think WPG will finally bottom out near -30 C tonight.. If we don't, thank the west wind again =)jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-77780599702516123922012-01-19T07:45:45.650-06:002012-01-19T07:45:45.650-06:00Temperatures actually didn't get as cold as wa...Temperatures actually didn't get as cold as was expected overnight. 'only' got down to -29 at the WPG airport yesterday evening, then remained near -27 and -28 C rest of the night. Areas in the western RRV saw the warmest overnight lows, near -27 C in Portage and Morden. The milder temperatures could possibly be attributed to the westerly wind that dominated the night. It may have actually gave us a bit of a warming downslope effect, which kept our temps a little milder.<br /><br />Will be interesting to see if the southwest wind tonight will have the same effect. The expected low tonight is around -31 C, although if we get some downsloping again, perhaps we will evade -30 C again?jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-26047017261671594942012-01-18T19:03:23.840-06:002012-01-18T19:03:23.840-06:00Anyone, at any time of year, feel free to share yo...Anyone, at any time of year, feel free to share your snowfall and rainfall measurements here, no matter where you live in southern Manitoba!

Lows near -30 to -32 C definitely possible, and with winds of 20 km/h, it will feel closer to -40 to -43. Wind chill warnings have been issued by Environment Canada.<br /><br />Our next snowfall appears to be sometime on Saturday. Again it appears like it will be a fairly insignificant event, possibly a cm or two at most with majority of the snow to our north. Although stay tuned for the latest updates...jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-36177228569894593332012-01-17T17:25:57.348-06:002012-01-17T17:25:57.348-06:00Models are in more agreement with the upcoming sno...Models are in more agreement with the upcoming snowfall tonight and tomorrow morning. It does appear that most of the snow will fall along the US Border, with just light snow for the city of Winnipeg. Perhaps 1 or 2 cm in the city, while areas along the US Border could see 2-5 cm. With temperatures this cold, it definitely wont be a heavy wet snow, rather a very fine, light and fluffy snow.<br /><br />Snow will likely be beginning soon in the city, within the next couple hours. Visibility down to 5 km in Portage and 3 km in Brandon at the moment in light snow.<br /><br />The cloud will prevent temperatures from plummeting tonight, and perhaps even allow them to rise slightly overnight to -23. The snow will be over by afternoon tomorrow, and then skies will clear quickly allowing temperatures to plummet to -30 to -33 C Thursday morning.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-13307475640063764042012-01-17T16:02:07.771-06:002012-01-17T16:02:07.771-06:00Our low of -27 C this morning in the city was balm...Our low of -27 C this morning in the city was balmy compared to Saskatchewan and Alberta!! It got down to a brutal -38 C in Saskatoon this morning, along with wind chills near -46 or -47. Similar story in Edmonton and Red Deer, with lows of -33 C. Highs in those areas today struggled to get over -30 C, even in Calgary.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.com
