WINNIPEG — March has been off to a rough start.
A definite cold kickoff to the month in which spring officially begins.
But there is relief in sight, and before we get to it, unfortunately we’ll experience more snow.
Winnipeg will begin to see increasing cloud Thursday night with snow beginning in the overnight hours. That indicates a slower drive into work or wherever you’re headed Friday morning.
The snow will taper off Friday morning leaving possible flurries behind. We are looking at a total of between two and four centimetres according to Environment Canada.

You may not even have to get out that shovel with the mild weather on the way for the weekend. Saturday sunshine and a high of 1 C while Sunday we are looking at a high of 4 C.
Into the second week of March we are looking at a very good chance of showers on Monday, and finally a stretch of temperatures that feel more spring-like.
