Here we go again!
Environment Canada has issued a Snowfall Warning for a large swath of the traditional eBrandon usage area in Southwestern Manitoba including the City of Brandon.
Snow is expected to begin Sunday morning, getting stronger toward the afternoon and falling for a good portion of the day. By the time all is said and done Brandon is forecast to see 10-15cm, which is just that right (wrong?) amount to cause driving on city streets to be anywhere from inconvenient and messy to perhaps even dangerous. Though I havent heard anyone mentioning the dreaded B-word, with winds at the same time forecast to be 30km gusting to 50km/hr on Sunday and windchills around -30 give-or-take it’s going to be the kind of unpleasant winter day you'd prefer to have tucked into the recesses of your memory by the time the first July heat wave comes around.
Highways of course are going to be an area of concern as well. As the system moves in you can get all the most recently updated road conditions on the Manitoba 511 site.
The good news for your back and mine is that according to the Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Centre the snow that falls is expected to be of the lighter and fluffier variety.
All the latest warnings in place in Manitoba that are put in place by Environment Canada can be seen here. A discussion thread has been started and attached to this post which will include additional info throughout the day.
