U.S. plains feedlot cattle suffer in blizzard

By Sam Nelson March 7, 2013

Reuters / Cattle in the vast U.S. High Plains region were stressed by this week’s severe blizzard, leading to big weight losses and boosting Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) live cattle futures prices, feeders and livestock experts said on Feb. 27. The storm dumped up to 20 inches of wet snow in some areas, accompanied by

Snow welcomed but more needed to end drought

By Carey Gillam February 28, 2013

Reuters / A heavy winter snowstorm that swept across the U.S. midsection was a welcomed event for U.S. winter wheat farmers worried that their drought-stricken fields were too parched to produce a healthy crop this year. Nearly a foot or more of snow fell across key growing areas in Oklahoma and Kansas Feb. 21. “I

Summer weather trying to hang on

By Daniel Bezte September 17, 2012

We are starting to see a shift in the general weather pattern across much of Canada, but I’m not sure if this is really a fundamental change in the pattern or the pattern simply adjusting to the changing season. For this forecast period we’ll see a bit of a battle between a ridge of high

Warm weather to continue

By Daniel Bezte July 30, 2012

The first part of last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, but the second part of the forecast, well that was a bit of a bust! The upper area of low pressure did cross north-central Manitoba over the weekend, but it lost a fair bit of its energy as it did so. The

Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes

By Daniel Bezte July 20, 2012

Since they can’t actually get inside to measure it, scientists aren’t completely sure what causes a tornado

We’ve seen a few thunderstorms over southern and central Manitoba so far this July, but most have not been very severe. That said, over the weekend, southwestern Manitoba had a tornado watch in effect and that reminded me that we need to finish our look at severe thunderstorms and in particular, tornadoes. The biggest question

Riding the edge of a heat wave

By Daniel Bezte July 20, 2012

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with the exception of a little more cloud and slightly cooler temperatures on Sunday and Monday, but after the dry weather and all the heat last week I think it was actually appreciated! It looks like the heat will be back on for most of this

A July heat wave is possible

By Daniel Bezte July 12, 2012

Summer weather definitely arrived last week with plenty of heat, humidity and even a few thunderstorms. It looks like this pattern will continue for much of this forecast period. Fortunately, it looks like we may miss the extreme heat the U.S. is experiencing during this forecast period, but it still looks like it will be

Starting to understand tornadoes

By Daniel Bezte June 30, 2012

This week we’ll continue our look at severe thunderstorms, and specifically, the most deadly part: tornadoes. What are tornadoes and how do they form? A classic definition of a tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground, which may or may not be visible as a funnel

Severe summer weather: Wind

By Daniel Bezte June 16, 2012

With the return of summer-like heat last week we also saw the return of severe summer weather. Plenty of thunderstorms rumbled across the Prairies, bringing examples of all of the different types of severe weather we can expect to see. There was plenty of lightning, hail, some really strong winds, heavy rains and, last but

Thunderstorms and hail

By Daniel Bezte May 30, 2012

I find it kind of interesting, and maybe a little weird, that in the last issue I indicated that this issue would be about thunderstorms and hail, and then during the last week areas around Winnipeg experienced thunderstorms with hail — I even had some at my place. I think this week I should end
