Environment Canada notes that the measurements were reported by volunteers and are considered preliminary and informal. “This system has moved more or less across Atlantic Canada and has weakened significantly,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Dave Carlsen. The story goes on under the ad “The cloud is generated over Nova Scotia, the arc over Quebec and then moves from northeast to southwest over southern Manitoba. Thus, technically we are still affected by the system, but in no case is it something important “. Carlsen says Manitoba has not yet emerged from the forest, however, with more snow on the horizon for Sunday afternoon and evening. It expects areas in the southwest, such as Melita, Brandon and Pilot Mound, to see slightly heavier snowfall in the area of 10 to 15 centimeters. Going east to the Red River Valley, including Winnipeg and Morden, it will be slightly less, in the neighborhood of five to 10 centimeters.

“It simply came to our notice then. “And after that it seems in the middle of the week, somewhere around Wednesday, we can see a decent snowfall,” said Carlsen. Trending Stories

“Quantities vary greatly between models, but can be from a few centimeters up to 10 or maybe a little more. “I do not predict anything like 30 cm of snow in the forecast models.” Although fresh snow can be annoying, it should not lead to greater flood concerns, according to Jay Doering, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Manitoba. The story goes on under the ad “The infrastructure has improved so much. All communities in the Red River Valley were built by 1997 (flood) plus two feet. “We have a very extensive floodplain and we have had significant improvements to the pumping stations in the city of Winnipeg,” Doering said. “So unless this snow melts incredibly fast, and it does not seem to be on paper, I think that will be quite within the possibilities we can handle.”

Manitoba Hydro, meanwhile, says it was preparing for an event similar to 2019, when an October blizzard wreaked havoc in southern Manitoba, tearing down power lines across the area and leaving some without electricity for weeks. This time, spokesman Bruce Owen says there was a significant difference. “The leaves were still on the trees (in 2019). “This heavy, wet snow that sticks to leaves, trees, branches breaks, lands on our lines and causes all sorts of problems right in southern Manitoba and Winnipeg,” Owen said. “We did not see that.” However, Owen says there have been some local outages and power lines collapsed on Thursday in some areas, including Steinbach, McGregor, Hartley and Fisher River Cree Nation.
