Meanwhile, light snow will continue this morning but should be gone this afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised to see some breaks in the cloud this afternoon as well. <br />Attention will now be going towards late Thursday when another clipper system is set to move through the province. It doesn't look nearly as significant as yesterday's, so I'm not trying to scare anyone here. It may even miss areas along and south of the Trans-Canada. The bulk of the snow is expected in central Manitoba at this point. Nonetheless, 1-3 cm will be possible down here.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-35915164074277812592013-03-04T22:13:06.906-06:002013-03-04T22:13:06.906-06:00Periods of light snow will continue through the re...Periods of light snow will continue through the rest of the evening and most of the overnight. We shouldn't get a whole lot more however, 1-3 cm most likely. Looks like the 10-15 cm forecast for the city faired well, at least so far. jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-29897592147526605002013-03-04T22:08:44.779-06:002013-03-04T22:08:44.779-06:0011.5 cm at my place in River Park South now as of ...11.5 cm at my place in River Park South now as of 10 pm.

These interruptions in the snow will significantly limit our snowfall amounts if we don't get under another snow band soon. Areas just to the southwest of the city, between Oak Bluff and Carman are being hammered. 30 cm+ looking very likely there at this point.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-642768432691093422013-03-04T11:23:28.259-06:002013-03-04T11:23:28.259-06:00I took several measurements around the yard here i...I took several measurements around the yard here in River Park South now that the snow has stopped for a bit and it looks like about 6 cm so far as of 11:15 AM. Higher amounts reported in Charleswood with 8 cm as of 10:45 AM. The city keeps getting under these little blobs of dryness which is stopping the snowfall periodically. Heaviest amounts are west of the city with already 10-25 cm measured (according to Rob's Blog)!!jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-35793119658598132152013-03-04T06:48:49.140-06:002013-03-04T06:48:49.140-06:00Cocorahs observer in Morden reported 9 cm as of ab...Cocorahs observer in Morden reported 9 cm as of about 4:30 am or so, therefore 20-25 cm looks like an easy target down there. 25-35 cm will be possible in that area.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-76589159774102008302013-03-04T06:29:27.991-06:002013-03-04T06:29:27.991-06:00All's going according to plan for Winnipeg at ...All's going according to plan for Winnipeg at this point.
