In a spring snowstorm that essentially paralysed much of southern Manitoba for a couple of days, snowfall amounts varied drastically throughout the province.
In a spring snowstorm that essentially paralysed much of southern Manitoba for a couple of days, snowfall amounts varied drastically throughout the province.
The latest numbers from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), which the weather agency considers final for the days-long storm, shows a high of 82 centimeters of snow falling in Onanole to a low of 13 cm in Miami and Woodlands.
Killarney and Selkirk reported 60 and 45 centimeters of snow respectively with Winnipeg receiving somewhere between 25-35 cm.
Initial forecasts by ECCC predicted snowfalls of 30-50 cm of snow for most areas, with localized snowfalls having the potential to be much higher.
In a video posted to Facebook from Wasagaming on Thursday, located about five kilometers north of Onanole, waist deep snow made getting around the yard a challenge in itself.
The weather forced 30-year veteran long-haul truck driver Gord Havery off the road in Saskatchewan Thursday after leaving Swift Current yesterday. He got as far as Balgonie, about 25 km east of Regina.
