Winter Just Keeps On Keeping On

Winter Just Keeps On Keeping On 

by Ronnie Neiman

Saturday, March 11th saw a blizzard roll into southeastern Manitoba. It may still technically be winter but many  expected the weather to turn much warmer by mid-March, not to get another blizzard.

There was an expected 10-15 centimetres of snow expected. I’d say that amount was certainly received, especially with the buildup of snow drifts from the high winds which were an estimated 60-70 km/hrs.

Walking to the university the day after the blizzard, before any plowing was able to be done on the sidewalks and other walking paths, the snow reached up to 16 centimetres in places. It wasn’t an easy walk. By the time I reached the university, the physical plant had already started on clearing the pathways for students to have easier access across the university. 

Just keep an eye on the weather, stay updated for any major changes such as another winter storm or for when all the snow melts away. Dress warmly as needed!
