Plenty of Snow Expected for Southern Prairies!

Some years ago, there was a world renown, colourful weather man on ITV in Edmonton, by the name of Jim Matheson.
All he used was a chalkboard and his long pointer to explain the weather, when everyone else was using modern graphics.

Every so often he would start by saying something like this- " there are darkling shadows on our weather map tonight.

We are in the line of the most dreaded of all meteorological phenomenon - THE SIBERIAN HIGH".

A Siberian High like this.

If this one comes our way, we better hope this sucker goes east of us, cause it ain't pretty when they stay for a week or two, or longer if they really want to show us who's boss.

And after he was done tossing weather icons on his sticky board he would spike his pointer on the floor and it would bounce straight up into his hand.....sometimes. I used to enjoy his show.
Thanks for bringing back a good memory!

So far we are on track for one of the coldest November's ever. Have enough snow around here to get another wet spring started. Given that this past years crop did not mature, I fear that we are in a cooling trend like the mid 70's. Sure hope that warm dry weather is coming as don't need another year of floods.

same here , coldest november I can remember . funny how the science deniers never speak of it . oh yeah, I forgot , it's just called weather if it's cold . but if it is unusually hot , then it's called global warming

Ya, I got straightened out about that when I told my wife about the Siberian High! LOL

Actually, I got his name mixed up with a sports writer from around the same time.
