When Should We Expect The Snow To Melt? – for Mar. 31, 2011

The quest ion of when spring is supposed to start seems to crop up in agricultural Manitoba every time we still have a good covering of snow on the ground and it’s getting late into March. This year is no exception. A few years ago I looked into this question, and with what appeared to

Forecast – for Mar. 24, 2011

Another tough forecast, at least to start this forecast period. One of the big weather-makers to affect this forecast period will be just winding up on Wednesday.

Forecast – for Mar. 10, 2011
