Opposite pattern to last year

By Daniel Bezte April 11, 2013

I wouldn’t go as far as to say that panic is setting in over the weather, but from some of the conversations I am hearing, it’s not too far off. Personally, I think it’s a little too early to hit the panic button. As I pointed out in an article a couple of weeks ago,

Well-below-average temperatures to continue

By Daniel Bezte April 10, 2013

This is probably one of the toughest forecasts I have had to write in a long time. First of all, it’s tough because the weather is not looking that great over the next seven to 10 days; secondly, because the weather models have been all over the place with each model run! This forecast period

A cold, wet April outlook

By Daniel Bezte April 9, 2013

Well, if you think March was colder than average, you were right! In March 2013, temperatures across southern and central Manitoba averaged as much as 5 C below the long-term average. The last time we saw any month that was more than 2° below average was back in March of 2011. So we’ve had a

Winter’s still hanging on

By Daniel Bezte March 28, 2013

It looks like spring is going to take its time moving in this year. The main weather story for this forecast period is cool arctic high pressure, which looks to be the dominant player. A large ridge of arctic high pressure has been dominating our weather for the last week and looks as if it

Looking like a late start to spring

By Daniel Bezte March 28, 2013

Most of us can hardly wait until the snow melts and warm spring temperatures move in for good. It seems as though a lot of us are just assuming spring should be arriving early each year — after all, isn’t that what global warming is supposed to be about? As we learned last March, if

Just how long will it be before spring?

By Daniel Bezte March 25, 2013

It’s hard to believe that exactly one year ago, the water cooler talk was all about daytime highs of 14 C

Every once in a while I feel I need to point out when I write these articles. My due date is the Monday before you read this. Most of the time, I write the article sometime during the day on Sunday, not because I like to procrastinate and leave things to the last minute —

Saskatchewan farm areas may see above-average spring flooding

By Reuters March 25, 2013

Saskatchewan could see above-average spring flooding across most of its farming areas, the provincial government said March 11. Flooding occurs to some extent every spring as snow melts on the flat Canadian Prairies. Soils in Saskatchewan were generally dry in autumn, prior to freezing weather, but the province saw between 150 per cent and 200

Spring moisture conditions promising for Prairie forage producers

By Terryn Shiells March 22, 2013

Lots of snow means it’s shaping up to be a good year for forage production across Western Canada. Much of the Prairies was fairly dry at freeze-up but that’s not a major concern now, provincial forage officials say. Most of Manitoba has seen at least average winter precipitation and some areas have received more than

Are we in for a mid-month cold snap?

By Daniel Bezte March 7, 2013

Well, it looks like the models were a little off with the storm system that affected southern Manitoba during the start of this week. While initially the models had this low staying weak and tracking through southern regions, the low was able to tap into some deep moisture from the south which allowed it to
