With temperatures slowly starting to heat up across the Prairies, thoughts turn towards summer and summer weather, and in my case, I begin thinking about thunderstorms.

Surprisingly, last week’s forecast turned out to be pretty good, despite the inconsistencies in the weather models. I think the biggest problem with the forecast was the timing of the cold front that swept through the region over the week.

Some of the largest snowstorms in our part of the world have been in March or April

By
Every couple of years I like to go back and visit the topic of spring snowstorms. Unlike Christmas snowstorms, I do not secretly wish for a spring snowstorm. Maybe when I was younger I did, but now I just want nice warm, dry weather to move in. On the positive side of things, the current

This turned out to be a good thing for our region as the main storm track shifted
