The evidence is rather noticeable on the side of city streets and on either side of people's driveways, but Winnipeg received a lot of snow in January.

According to numbers from Environment and Climate Change Canada, Winnipeg received 43.2 centimetres of snow in January 2022.

This number was recorded at the organization's station in Charleswood.

This is the largest snowfall the city has experienced in January over the last five years, with 2020 being the next closest at 34.6 centimetres.

Natalie Hasell, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, said we are currently dealing with La Nina conditions, which is the cooling of the ocean surface which leads to colder temperatures up north.

"So we've certainly seen a number of long stretches of very cold weather here and in between those, we've seen low-pressure systems push their way through and as a result dump a lot of snow," said Hasell.

She noted that there has also been drought conditions throughout the province, including last winter, and a shift may be developing.
