1873/74 - Missing data for February for St John's College were found at the Library and Archives of Canada in Winnipeg (38.9 cm).
1937/38 - Missing data at the Airport for February were found at the Library Archives of Canada in Winnipeg. Using this data raised the winter snow/precip amount by 1.3 cm/mm.
1995/96 - A significant portion of the rain reported in the ECCC Archives on February 22nd and 23rd was actually snow that melted on contact. In particular, the 2.2 mm reported on the 23rd was entirely snow that melted on contact. It is uncertain how much of the 5.6 mm on the 22nd was actually rain and not snow melting on contact.
2008/09 - Confidence in rainfall amount high. Due to serious nipher shield issues, rainfall was double the reality at YWG on February 9th and 10th. XWG 13.2 mm + 0.3 mm was used instead. XWG also better matched other stations in the area, providing further proof of the issue at YWG.
