However, if travelling on the highways it's the wind that will be the issue causing drifting and blowing snow. Again, the worst of the wind will be in the morning.<br /><br />There are hints at this time of a stronger clipper system for late Friday into Saturday which could bring some heavier snowfall. Note that I will not be around to provide updates, therefore keep in touch with Rob's Blog and A Weather Moment for updates on the system.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Merry Christmas, happy holidays and have a great New Year to everyone!jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-25682037744624351552013-12-23T07:36:43.459-06:002013-12-23T07:36:43.459-06:00Meanwhile, it got close to -40°C around the lakes ...Meanwhile, it got close to -40°C around the lakes again, including -39.0°C in Fisher Branch and -39.7°C in Berens River as of 6 am.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-74592069741847008212013-12-23T07:33:10.644-06:002013-12-23T07:33:10.644-06:00As of 6 am the low at the airport was -34.3°C.

Therefore, this method definitely doesn't help in determining what's the best chance of what this January will be like. It could go either way. However, so far this coming January is looking to at least start cold.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-17979268103600502222013-12-22T18:32:05.883-06:002013-12-22T18:32:05.883-06:00Would not be surprised if it got colder than the -...Would not be surprised if it got colder than the -34°C I predicted in the Winnipeg forecast for tonight. GEM Regional giving lows of -37°C which is not out of the question. Pretty much impossible we'll break a record low tomorrow. Dec 23, 1879 was one of the coldest days in Winnipeg's history, with a low of -44.4°C.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-67799752481590272692013-12-22T18:27:25.029-06:002013-12-22T18:27:25.029-06:00Near blizzard conditions possible in rural areas, ...Near blizzard conditions possible in rural areas, but I don't see a full-blown blizzard with this at this time. Winds may be just a tad too weak for that, but we'll see. Winds are expected to be strongest in the AM hours so if anyone HAS to travel that day, the later in the day the better.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-32021133462287493052013-12-22T16:03:24.875-06:002013-12-22T16:03:24.875-06:00Hi JJ,
