Nearly 21,000 Manitoba homes and businesses remained without power early Monday in the wake of a snowstorm that the province's Crown energy utility said had left an unprecedented amount of damage to transmission lines, towers and more, and will take days to repair."In some areas, we have more lines and poles down than standing," Manitoba Hydro chief executive officer Jay Grewal said Sunday. "Our crews are out there working hard, 16 hours a day, doing their best to restore the power." Premier Brian Pallister declared a state of emergency early Sunday morning. The move makes it easier for Hydro crews to access private land and invokes help from neighbouring provinces and states - Ontario, Saskatchewan and Minnesota - who were being asked for workers, poles and even transmission towers. Grewal said the utility is already sourcing towers from its suppliers in Ontario. "So really the challenge is the logistics - to get that equipment to the locations that we need, given the limited access due to weather on the roads." A blast of heavy, wet snow started pummelling much of the province Thursday and continued into Friday.

In 2017 we saw the most costly damage from weather the United States has ever seen. In the first weeks of 2018 we have seen blizzards and snow from Florida to Maine, 40 degree temperature swings and deadly flooding in California. The crazy, unpredictable weather is being felt and observed by Glp'ers from all over the world.
The goal of this thread is simply to observe, compare and contrast forecasts - to what really ends up happening. Meteorologists are wrong - ALOT. It would seem the weather has been getting harder to predict, and the storms are becoming intense. Here maybe we can piece together the puzzling weather of late. I've been wanting to create this thread for a while, because it baffles me how inaccurate forecasts have been in the past, and even more so as of recently! Here we can have a template of what was predicted, what really happened and maybe it'll help shed light on what we can expect in the future!
Feel free to post anything weather related. From links, to videos to your daily weather forecast and/or observations. The more data the better. I will give daily forecasts for a few cities including my current location. This should be interesting and fun. I'll try my hardest to update here on the regular. But i sure could use some help from you fine GLP weathertards.
