This
crow and I were equally surprised to see the extent of this spring snow fall. Weather
reports on Friday described the system as a "Colorado" disturbance but
essential it was just a very wet low pressure area that came into contact with a
well established but cool arctic airmass over Southern Manitoba. As we drove East
Friday afternoon the skies darkened East of Brandon and as close as fifteen kilometers
West of the city there was only a light skiff of snow on the ground so that it appeared
that the precipitation was concentrated pretty much on the city and East of it and
fell late Thursday afternoon. It was credible enough though as i found myself whistling
Christmas Carols.At the bottom of this page is a QuickTime VR partial panorama out on the front step of my son's house on Waterloo street. This picture was taken at 7:30AM
