- The general snow cover melted away in Winnipeg by mid month, around the 15-16th. However, cold weather the remainder of the month prevented a total melt of the snow cover with at least a trace remaining the rest of the month. Large puddles and pools of water had frozen over on fields and streets, making for slippery conditions the entire second half of the month.
