Expect snow Today and another day of possible Severe Weather in the States

After a repreive from snow over the past several weeks, expect another round today as an area of low pressure and a trowal moves across and along the international border. Bringing with it a large swath of snow ranging from 2 to 10 cm across the red river valley and the south. As of last night we have recieved a total of 6cm already. Expect the snow to taper off later this afternoon as the system moves east into Ontario and Minnesota. Cooler weather can be expected into monday before we see a return to very mild conditions.
I will have details later on a  possible tornado outbreak in the states expected today,as it begins unfolding. As well I'll have an outlook into our spring this year in a week or so!

Snowfall totals from March 2nd,2012

(Snow from a few weeks ago)

That system sure gave Manitobans a surprise, we got more snow than first thought. Snowfalltotals were in and around 10 cm in winnipeg and across the N RRV, and as much as 20cm over the southern red river valley. Snowfall warnings were issued in Morden,Winkler, and Altona because of the signifiant accumulations. That's no surprise considering we we were lucky all winter.(Right: Just look at the difference in snowcover from a few weeks ago, compared to what we have now)
