Weather: Several chances for rain or snow

Forecast issued Apr. 8, covering the period from Apr. 13 to 20, 2022

By
Well, last week’s forecast began on a bit of a sour note. The weather models showed that the storm system which impacted far-southern and eastern regions of Manitoba on April 6 and 7 should have stayed well to our south. To give the models credit, it did stay well to our south, but the strength

Thoughts on a colder- and drier-than-average March

But will the colder weather continue into April?

By
I don’t know about you, but this year just seems to be flying by. I can’t believe it is already April. The weather question that seems to be on almost everyone’s mind is: when will spring finally arrive? Well, before we can try to answer that question by looking at the medium- to long-range forecasts,

The problems of trying to measure snowfall

The heavier and wetter the snow is when it falls, the easier it will be to measure

Soil moisture and lake levels are lower than average, but snowfall has been high say U.S. and Manitoba reports

The U.S. National Weather Service is predicting a turnaround from last year’s record dry conditions, including a fairly high risk of significant flooding this spring. A March 10 report out of Grand Forks forecasts moderate risk of “significant snowmelt flooding” across U.S. portions the Red River and Devils Lake basins. That being said, the NWS

2022 continues to be cold and snowy

CanSIPS calls for near-average precipitation over the next three months

By
For most of agricultural Manitoba it was a cold and snowy February. While everyone saw cold temperatures and a lot of wind, not everyone saw a ton of snow. As I have written in the past, collecting and measuring accurate snowfall amounts is not easy, especially if it is windy — something we saw a

Weather: Forecast serves up a mixed bag
