It seems winter just can not let go in southern Manitoba. 

Natalie Hasell with Environment Canada says a line of low pressure has moved into the region. What started as rain Sunday evening, turned to snow overnight. By Monday morning it was a winter wonderland.

Environment Canada is forecasting five to ten centimetres of snow for areas of the Pembina and Red River valleys today, another five to ten centimetres tonight and then an additional two to five centimetres tomorrow. That means as much as 20 centimetres of snow could fall before the system moves out of the region. However, that is not enough to warrant a snowfall warning.

"For Manitoba, a snowfall warning is issued when ten centimetres or more of snow falls within twelve hours or less," explains Hasell. "So you are not in warning criteria based on the information we have now and the model output that we're using. So even though a warning hasn't been issued you should be paying attention and still maybe be considering to reschedule your travel plans."

Environment Canada first started hinting at this storm Friday afternoon when it issued a special weather statement. Hasell points out a special weather statement is different from a weather warning. A special weather statement is a bulletin that either describes something unusual that is currently happening, such as a funnel cloud, or it is used in advance of a significant event, such as a late season storm.

According to Hasell, the next two days will also be windy. Winds will be out of the north at 30 km/h gusting to 50 km/h today and then 40 km/h gusting to 60 km/h tomorrow.

Hasell says things should begin to improve by Wednesday, afterwhich things should start to warm up again and begin trending closer to normal temperatures. And, Hasell says with a high of 10 degrees by Saturday, whatever snow falls in the next day or two should quickly melt. The normal high for this time of year is 11 degrees.
