Winter Arrives On The Prairies

 
Colder temperatures and snow have made their way across the Prairies.
 
Senior Agricultural Meteorologist with World Weather Inc. Drew Lerner says it appears winter is here to stay.
 
"It certainly does look as though winter is here for a while. Unfortunately, I think we're done with the warm air. It looks like the next week will likely generate a rather steady diet of normal to below normal temperatures across the region and we do have a bunch of snow that's going to pile up across the Prairies."
 
Lerner says this year will be a La Niña winter, which means we could be in for some colder temperatures.
 
He notes much of Manitoba is still suffering from drier soil conditions, which could create some problems in the spring.
