So far, the winter weather in Manitoba has not quite lived up to its fearsome reputation. Despite a slight warmup in November following some snowfall most of the Superintendents that I have spoken with are pleased with how winter is progressing. Snowfall has been adequate for coverage without being excessive as it was this past winter.
The past few months have been pretty quiet in Manitoba but some conferences/educational events are just around the corner.
