Break up!
The temperatures have settled down a bit and we have had some normal temperatures mixed with a few warmer days. Nothing but sunshine, when the bad weather comes, it seems to pass quickly. We are quite dry and unless something changes, there I would expect a fire ban when the season opens.
Lake Manitoba has been moving around for a week or so. The next big wind should take out the ice. Depending on the weather, the ice up north should go in about 2 weeks from now. Here are some pictures of the ice around here.
