1885 - Snowfall changed from 0.0 cm to trace (x2): Snow that was entered on May 1st in the ECCC Archives actually began around 9pm on April 30th, as evidenced in the observer notes from St John's College and St Boniface College. At St Boniface College, 0.5 cm of snow was also reported on April 13th. St John's College reported nothing that day so I am assuming a trace that day (possibly omitted by observer - but at the very least, some snow fell in parts of the city). These observations were retrieved at the Library and Archives of Canada in Winnipeg.
1886 - Snowfall changed from 0.0 cm to trace (x2): Both St John's College and St Boniface College reported snow (and sleet (ice pellets)) intermittently on the 27th and 28th (and possibly early on the 29th but this is less certain). I am assuming trace based on no accumulations reported. These observations were retrieved at the Library and Archives of Canada in Winnipeg.
1943 - Converting to 06z-06z climate day, the 14th trace snow is eliminated because it fell during the overnight on the 15th. From the Monthly Record via the Library and Archives of Canada in Winnipeg.
2025 - Missing data on the 16th at XWG during rainfall. I could not use The Forks because the band of rain primarily missed the Airport. Most private stations in northwestern parts of the city recorded around 0.2 mm so I estimated 0.2 mm for the Airport. Note that radar accumulations were far too high for the event (possibly bright banding). Radar suggested 12 mm of rain over downtown but The Forks only had 2 mm. This is 6 times lower than radar suggested. Radar suggested approximately 2 mm around the Airport, so dividing that by 6 gives about 0.2 or 0.3 mm.
