Fine by me, busy season at work, it can snow for next few weeks, I’m fine with that.Enjoy. Because things are going to change drastically for tomorrow and then continuing into early next week.
Me too!Fine by me, busy season at work, it can snow for next few weeks, I’m fine with that.![]()
Blaming the weather this week on you two.Me too!![]()
It wasn't that long ago that Minot was devastated by spring runoff flooding.I bet they will see severe flooding in the near future. A big dump of snow like that will melt quickly if/when the warm air and sunshine returns.
Sorry about that.Blaming the weather this week on you two.
-15C on April 12th. Good luck global warming. Worst spring ever. Basically everything early blooming is being toasted. RIP Raspberry, Grape and Blackberry crop this year. They were all budding already.
Never seen an extended cold spell like this after two weeks of warm weather that faked out all the perennials. sigh. yikes.
We've had Grapes for a decade. They're covered, but this probably kills all them off because they're budded. Unbelievable switch up in weather. From +20 to -20low. What planet is this. heh
Agree with you on the "greyest winters" statement. I know there is all kinds of data out there that says we have so much sunshine we don't know what to do with it, but by the eyeball and memory test, it sure seemed pretty gloomy this winter.The winter I don't think of as a cold one but I feel it was one of the greyest winters I've ever witnessed.
And now April.. what a f***ing disaster of a start to spring is all I have to say. It doesn't even look promising for the rest of the month. Looking at the 14 day forecast we'll be lucky to hit even average temperatures. May will arrive with snow on the ground at this rate. Not just some freak fresh snow.. like old January snow that's still hiding in the shade snow.
Even Friday they recorded as 22 degrees... Did I miss something? Felt grey, windy and nothing like 10 degrees above seasonal to me... The one nice day was a ripoff!
f*** you mother nature
f*** you Alberta... actually this time it seems to be a Canada thing.. f*** you Canada![]()
Right beside my giant heater!Weather? What weather?

Major spring storm poised to wallop southern Manitoba beginning overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning and lasting until Friday morning. Widespread snowfall accumulations of 30-50 cm accompanied by northerly winds gusting 60-70 km/h giving zero visibility at times in snow and blowing snow.
A Colorado low will move towards Minnesota Tuesday night bringing a heavy swath of snow through most of southern Manitoba. The snow will start early Tuesday evening near the International border then push northward throughout the night. By Wednesday morning heavy snow will be falling in much of the area as the storm continues to push northward. Strong northerly winds will develop with this system and persist into Friday morning as the low slowly pivots through Minnesota on it's way into northwestern Ontario.
For the City of Winnipeg and points southeastward, a break in the snow may occur on Wednesday afternoon or evening before snow re-intensifies overnight into Thursday. 15 to 20 cm is likely by Wednesday afternoon, with a further 15 to 20 cm likely with the second area of snow overnight Wednesday through Thursday and Thursday night.
By Friday morning, widespread snowfall accumulations of 30 to 40 cm are likely.
Travel will become increasingly difficult as the day progresses Wednesday, with widespread highway closures a near-certainty. By Wednesday evening even travel within communities may become impossible as the heavy snow and strong winds continue... and more of the same is expected on Thursday.
Do not plan to travel - this storm has the potential to be the worst blizzard in decades. Stock up on needed supplies and medications now. Power outages are likely, rural areas in particular should be prepared for extended outages.
Conditions should begin to improve on Friday as the winds taper off and the heaviest snow moves into northern Ontario...although the clean-up after this storm will likely last well into next week.
Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas. Heavy snowfall accumulation combined with strong winds may cause damage to trees or other structures.

Major spring blizzard poised to wallop western Manitoba beginning overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning and lasting through to Friday morning. Widespread snowfall accumulations of 30-50 cm accompanied by northerly winds gusting 70-90 km/h giving zero visibility at times in snow and blowing snow.
A Colorado low will move towards Minnesota Tuesday night bringing a heavy swath of snow from southeastern Saskatchewan through most of southern Manitoba. The snow will start early Tuesday evening near the International border then push northward throughout the night. By Wednesday morning heavy snow will be falling in much of the area as the storm continues to push northward. Strong northerly winds will develop with this system and persist into Friday morning as the low slowly pivots through Minnesota on it's way into northwestern Ontario. This will lead to widespread blizzard conditions developing tonight into early Wednesday morning.
By Friday morning widespread snowfall accumulations of 30 to 50 cm are expected...with possible accumulations as high as 80 cm possible along terrain features such as the western escarpment of the Red River Valley, the Riding Mountains, and the Turtle Mountains.
Travel will become increasingly difficult as the day progresses Wednesday, with widespread highway closures a near-certainty. By Wednesday evening even travel within communities may become impossible as the heavy snow and strong winds continue... and more of the same is expected on Thursday.
