A warm start to winter

Most models agree it will be warmer than usual, with some variations

It is time once again to look at last month’s weather and peer ahead to the latest long-range forecasts. Fall is now officially over and we are beginning the meteorological winter, so let’s see how the fall weather numbers added up. Alberta once again had a very warm month compared to the long-term average. The

Weather Network predicts mild winter, with caveats

Colder scenario expected for East

By ,
MarketsFarm — Strong El Niño conditions that have developed in the Pacific Ocean would typically lead to a milder winter across Canada — but other factors this year could challenge that outlook, according to the winter forecast from The Weather Network, released Wednesday. The winter forecast features a mild start to the season, with a

Wildlife stories in the snow

Winter is one of the best times to get a peek at the habits of wild critters

By
In my early 20s, I had the privilege of tagging along with Cree trappers in northern Manitoba. It was part of my youthful dream to learn how to live off the land, and who better to learn from than the people and communities that had been doing it for millennia? When it came to hunting
The probabilities suggest that a snowfall event yielding at least 10 centimetres in the Winnipeg region will happen about twice per typical winter.

A deeper dive into winter snowfall amounts

Statistically, we see less than two centimetres about half the time when it snows

By
Often when we get October snow, I am asked how often we see big snowfall events. I talked a little bit about this last week but this week I will take a deeper dive into snowfall. During one of my university courses on water systems, we looked at stream flows and how to calculate the

Prairie Forecast: Nice, quiet early-winter weather

Issued Nov. 1, covering Nov. 1 to 8

By ,
Interesting weather pattern setting up across the Prairies during this forecast period. Well, maybe “interesting” isn’t the right word; “boring” might be a better one. What I mean by “interesting” is just how quickly we swung from a warm fall pattern to a cool winter pattern. Low temperatures across the Prairies over the last week

Canada retools inflation baskets with more focus on food, gas

Snowblowers and barbecues in, DVD players out

By ,
Ottawa | Reuters — Canada’s national statistics agency on Tuesday revealed new weights for the basket of goods and services in its Consumer Price Index, giving more prominence to changes in the prices of food and gasoline. The reweighting, which Statistics Canada carries out every year, has historically had only a marginal impact on the

Surprisingly for spring, last week’s forecast played out close to what the weather models predicted. The expected Colorado low late in the week developed as the models thought it would. It moved in earlier and moved out earlier and was not as strong as forecasted. It did intensify, but not until it was in northern Ontario, and that

Prairie soil moisture picture growing clearer

Alberta driest; Saskatchewan variable; Manitoba mostly OK

By ,
It’s a variable soil moisture picture on the Prairies as seeding season draws nearer. The east has enough moisture — and in some cases too much. And it gets progressively drier toward the west, with portions of Alberta nearing critical condition, according to one weather watcher. Bruce Burnett, weather and markets director for the MarketsFarm

Weather: Below-average temperatures to continue

Forecast issued Mar. 31, 2023, covering the period from Apr. 5 to Apr. 12, 2023

By
Last week’s forecast played out surprisingly well. The storm system predicted to slide to our south at the start of the forecast period developed as expected but tracked further south than originally forecast, thanks to — you guessed it — strong arctic high pressure over our region. The quick weekend storm system looks to be

Weather: Little if any snow expected

You can tell when the weather pattern starts to switch into spring mode, not because we necessarily see warmer weather, but because the weather models have a tough time with medium-range forecasts. We saw this in the last forecast. Confidence was low and it looked as though we would be stuck between the two main
