A deeper look at spring and fall frost dates

Winnipeg has seen unusually short and long frost-free seasons, but no clear trend either way

By Daniel Bezte October 14, 2016

Well, that didn’t take long. At the end of last week’s article I pointed out it only takes one big storm system to totally change a monthly weather outlook. For western regions, this happened last week, as a very strong area of low pressure formed over Montana and then slowly pushed north-northeast through Saskatchewan and

Winter wheat acres survive winter, but down significantly

A mild winter and early melt hasn’t hurt the winter wheat crop,  but competition from new varieties has hit acreage

By Allan Dawson March 25, 2016

The return of snow cover and colder weather have winter wheat growers heaving a sigh of relief — but they’re still uncertain about the long-term future of the crop. Ken Gross, Ducks Unlimited agronomist for the group’s winter wheat initiative, said a couple of weeks ago his phone was ringing off the hook as temperatures

Forecast: Still a little early to think of spring

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

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

The coldest air of the winter moved in as expected last weekend, with most locations either seeing air temperatures in the -30 to -33 C range or feeling wind chills in the -40 C or colder range. Hopefully this was nature’s biggest push of cold air for the winter, but as usual, only time will

It’s the middle of winter and, well, it feels like it. While it’s definitely been cold recently, if this ends up being our big shot of cold air for the winter, I think most of us can agree it wasn’t so bad! It does look like the colder-than-average temperatures will continue for at least one

After a fairly nice end to the year and an equally nice start to 2016, it looks like we’re in for some significant changes in our overall weather pattern. High pressure that brought us plenty of sunshine along with fairly mild temperatures over the weekend pulled off to the east, and by Wednesday the weather

Well, you have to give Environment Canada credit, as it was the only forecaster to correctly predict the behaviour of last week’s Colorado low. While the low tracked pretty close to what weather models predicted, a trough of low pressure extending to the northwest of the low brought some significant snowfall to central and eastern

Forecast: A little more winter-like weather

Issued: Monday, Dec. 7, 2015 – Covering Dec. 9 – Dec. 16, 2015

By Daniel Bezte December 10, 2015

With little or no snow covering much of central and southern Manitoba, temperatures were able to climb well above anticipated highs last week. Several temperature records fell as a large blocking pattern brought plenty of sunshine along with mild Pacific air. These mild conditions look like they’ll persist a little longer before more seasonable temperatures
