Where will the best Christmas weather be on the Prairies?

Where’s your ‘perfect’ Christmas most likely to be found? We’ve got the data

By
Every few years I like to revisit the topic of the “perfect” Christmas holiday weather. As I went through a couple of the older articles that I’ve written on this topic, I found a rather interesting coincidence.

Forecast: Typical mid-December weather

Covering the period from December 9 to December 18, 2019

By
Last week’s forecast got the big weather picture not too badly, but it was off on the timing. The cold air took a little longer than forecast to move in and ended up being a little colder than expected. As often is the case, when the general movement of weather systems slows down, we often

Forecast: Quiet weather pattern redevelops

Covering the period from December 4 to December 13, 2019

Once again, the weather models did a pretty good job with the medium-range forecast. They predicted last weekend’s storm system that kept most of the precipitation south of our region.

Forecast: Here’s a weather system to keep an eye on

Covering the period from November 25 to December 4, 2019

By
It’s been another solid week for the weather models as they were pretty spot on with the forecast, only being a day off on the two to five centimetres of snow that fell last Wednesday. For this forecast period, the weather models are starting to show some signs of our weather pattern becoming a little

Gauging snowfall probabilities

A Winnipeg winter offers about a 90 per cent chance of 30 days in which some snow falls

By
Back in October, just after the big snowstorm, I discussed fall snowstorms. Well, it seems that the October snowstorm has brought on a flurry of questions (no pun intended!) about the probability of snow. So I figured this week we should take a deeper look into snowfall, a topic we’ve visited a couple of times
A top-notch system like this Davis Vantage Pro2 can be a bit pricey, but its reliability makes it worth considering.

Covering the period from November 14 to November 20, 2019

Last week’s forecast wasn’t as far off as it may have seemed. It’s always tough to make a forecast when you are dealing with strong highs and weak lows, as you never really know which one will win out and just how the timing will work out. This is what we saw with last week’s
