Update On Our Winter Storm Situation


The Latest look at where the snow will
be falling at 6pm tonight. **/***
means heavy snow in hatched area.
Snow has spread over Southern Manitoba this morning with the heaviest snow occuring through western Manitoba and the interlake regions. As of 9am about 15cm of snow has fallen through the Roblin and Dauphin regions, with 8cm in Brandon 5cm in Portage and 2 to 3cm in Winnipeg. Snowfall amounts off to a dusting have been reported south and east of Winnipeg where precipitation is mixed with freezing rain and or ice pellets. Winnipeg will be on the edge of heavier snow to the west and north, and there will likely be light snow off to our south and east. 


Snow area for tonight at midnight
**/*** means heavy snow in hatched
area. 
As for the weather in Winnipeg today we will have periods of light snow along with the likelihood of heavier bursts from time to time. In general, about 5 to 10cm of snow is expected in Winnipeg today with lighter amounts to our south and east of about 2 to 5cm, and higher amounts likely to our west and north of 10 to 20cm. For the night tonight the colorado low will be tracking into northwestern Minnesota and NW Ontario, bringing another impulse of heavier precipitation over Southern Manitoba. This could bring another 10 to 20cm of snow into Winnipeg and the Red River Valley overnight into Sunday afternoon before the snowfall simmers down. So we will likely be contending with this storm system for another 24 to 36 hours yet.

On average Winnipeg could see 15 to 30cm of snow from this system with 35cm being the worst, and 17cm being minor. The heaviest snowfall will once again occur over Western Manitoba and the interlakes where 30 to 40cm is possible by Sunday Evening.

Thank you once again to Rob's Blog for the information, was a great help!

    Snow is currently in the red river valley and moving into the rest of the province. Snowfall amounts will likely get into the 30cm range in total once the storm is said and done. The snow will continue through the night and into Sunday evening that might be heavy at times but lighter through sunday. As for travel conditions people are advised to travel slowly on highways and try and avoid the closed one if you plan to head out but have not left yet by looking at MB Gov highway conditions.

    There are warnings still in effect however there are places in extreme southwest manitoba that are no longer in the warning area. I would expect the warnings to be dropped west to east further likely on Sunday evening.

    Get ready for some shovelling and try and look forward to it, but you probably won't like it. I know I won't.

    Have a Good one!

    I apologize for the lack of posts since Saturday, I will have a few up tomorrow night and on Thursday about our storm we experienced on the weekend including a photo gallery and a post detailing our weather situation. I have been very busy over the past couple of days, and have fallen behind on the weather updates. Don't worry I am still here and have not left this blog to abandonment. I hope you are all interested in reading up on on the weekend storm, tomorrow night and thursday!

    Until then take care and have a good one.....
