Last week’s forecast played out close to what the weather models predicted. The main difference was that last weekend’s low moved through southern and central regions a day earlier than expected.

Last week’s forecast played out fairly close to what the weather models predicted. While it did miss out on the Saturday morning snowfall that hit parts of south-central regions, it did catch the weekend cool-down and the warm-up that started this week.

CNS Canada — The world’s major weather forecasters predict a slightly better than 50 per cent chance that a La Nina weather pattern will occur this fall and winter. Most Prairie farmers could see good things happening if the system does materialize, because La Nina systems tend to bring what many people think of as

Here I am in beautiful Riding Mountain National Park in western Manitoba and after three days of camping I have yet to smack a single mosquito; how nice is that?! I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sky conditions will work out for the eclipse on Aug. 21, more for my son than me.
