Had 38 mm of rain and drizzle, here, yesterday, with not a flake to be seen.

It's been too warm for anything frozen to fall, but not so today.

A few flurries are around now, however it's too early to say if we'll see much accumulation.

I ended up unclogging a catch basin on the street in front of our hockey arena last night -- using a broken hockey stick to do so. Seemed quite fitting plus a hockey stick actually worked quite well. Thought best to drain the street before it freezes up. #mbstorm

Aside from about six literal small snow flurries today, there has been no snow to speak of, here, as a result of the now passed #mbstorm.

It's below freezing now, and could remain that way for some time.

We're entering the darkest sixth of the year, here & now, in stark contrast to how it is in late May through late July. But, that's just how it is. #SeasonsChange

Today was the day winter arrived, at last.

Haven't measured the snowfall yet, as it's still coming down (and has with varying regularity since mid-morning) but I'd estimate around 6-7 cm of relatively dry snow has fallen. It's on the "lighter" side, at least. Thought this might arrive yesterday, but nope, today was it. #mbstorm

Measurement showed 6 cm snow. For it being on the dryer side of things, a reasonable introduction to another winter season. #mbstorm

@weatherinthepeg I'm in the NK area. Used to enjoy posting these to Xitter, but no longer active there. Thank you for being, here. Would love to see ECCC embrace the Fediverse, with it's openness and accessibility.
