Forecast: Spring is having trouble getting hold

Issued March 21, 2016 – Covering the period from March 23, 2016 to March 30, 2016

By
The expected changes in our weather pattern materialized last week with an extremely warm early-spring pattern being replaced by a more seasonal one. If the mild-cool pattern we’ve seen all winter persists, we can expect to see cooler conditions for the next couple of weeks before above-average temperatures move back in. This forecast period will

Forecast: An early shot of spring weather

Issued March 7, 2016 – Covering the period from March 9, 2016 to March 16, 2016

By
From a forecasting point of view, you can really tell we are starting to move into spring, as it’s this time of the year when weather models often have a hard time “figuring out” just what’s going on. We saw some of this with last week’s forecast as some areas cleared out and saw plenty

Forecast: Still a little early to think of spring

Issued Feb. 22, 2016, covering the period from Feb. 24, 2016 to Mar. 2, 2016

By
The start of my forecasts is beginning to sound a bit like a broken record. It doesn’t look like the current weather pattern we’ve been in for the last month or so is going to change any time soon. If you think winter has come to an early end and spring is ready to move

Forecast: Overall pattern remains the same

Issued Feb. 15, 2016, covering the period from Feb. 17, 2016 to Feb. 24, 2016

By
It doesn’t look like the weather pattern we’ve been in for the last month or so is going to change any time soon. Here is the big picture of what is going on. To our west, there has been a fairly persistent area of low pressure off the coast that has been drifting north and

Leaning toward milder conditions

Issued: Monday, Mar. 23, 2015 – Covering: Mar. 25 – April 1, 2015

By
The weather played out pretty much as the models predicted for last week, except in western regions. The models kept any precipitation and clouds well to our west, but this boundary between dry, cool air and moist air set up close enough that southwestern regions saw more clouds than sun, along with occasional light snow.

Manitoba winter wheat OK so far, but fingers crossed for no cold snaps

An advisory committee is monitoring conditions to see if the April 10 
fertilizer prohibition can be lifted early

By
So far, so good sums up the condition of Manitoba’s winter wheat crop, although an extended cold snap could still damage it. In the meantime, an advisory committee was to meet Monday to consider whether to allow farmers to fertilize their fields, including winter wheat, before April 10 when the seasonal fertilizer application prohibition is

Cold, wet spring for 2015

If forecasters have it right, this winter could be another long one, 
but it won’t see long periods of below-normal temperatures

By
Call it an intermission from winter if you will, but don’t expect the warmer-than-usual temperatures to last — at least not in Manitoba. Speaking at Farm Credit Canada’s Ag Outlook in Winnipeg last week, meteorologist Mark Robinson said that this year’s El Niño is a weak one. “Right across the country we’re seeing warmer-than-normal temperatures,”

Winter returns to parts of Manitoba

Last Saturday was a very snowy affair

By
Spring was in the air. Temperatures in south-central Manitoba hit almost 20 C April 9, leaving fields bare. And while there were still snowbanks in the bush and along shelterbelts farmers were counting the days until they hit the fields. And then it snowed, heavily on April 12, underscoring poet T.S. Eliot’s famous line: “April

Fiddleheads — Free For The Picking

Some people are unapologetic foragers. They are morel hunters, berry pickers and hazelnut gatherers. Along with morels, fiddleheads are one of the most popular wild delicacies of spring, and like morel hunters, fiddlehead foragers are very secretive about their harvesting locations. Fiddleheads are the coiled, immature fronds of the ostrich fern. They acquired their name
