Albedo and spring warming

[Transition] The feedback mechanisms of sunlight are fascinating

By
As we begin the transition into spring, one topic often comes up: when will it really get warm? As most of us know, if there is snow on the ground, it is difficult to experience really warm temperatures. This is a result of two factors: the natural cooling effect of snow cover; and the bright

Prairie forecast: Cooler and unsettled west, mild and dry east

Forecast issued April 3, covering April 3 to 10

By ,
In a nutshell, it looks like Saskatchewan and Manitoba will see dry weather and nice, warm, spring temperatures. Alberta is going to have to deal with colder air being drawn southwards into the developing storm system over the south-central U.S. Along with the colder air, southern Alberta may deal with some more snow as moisture is pulled northward and then westward on the eastern side of the low.

A crazy warm February across the Prairies
