This issue’s map shows the amount of precipitation that’s fallen across the Prairies so far this winter as a
per cent of the long-term average. Most regions have seen near-average amounts of precipitation so far this
winter, with areas of Saskatchewan and Alberta seeing above-average amounts. Central and eastern portions
of Manitoba have actually been on the dry side, with a few regions seeing less than 40 per cent of average.
