DiscoverEstevan's 2023 50/50 For A Cause in support of Envision Counselling has come to a close, and this year's jackpot reached $33,390.

That means $16,695 is going towards Envision for the work they do for people across southeastern Saskatchewan.

And $16,695 is going to the winner:

It's hard to believe it took nearly until the end of April for our first Rainwatchers of the season. It's not like it's been dry, rather the precipitation has come more often as flaky white stuff than rainfall. Yesterday, we saw our first shower of any significance for 2023 in the Portage area.

Time is running out to get in for a chance to win tens of thousands of dollars while supporting an organization that provides support for people across southeastern Saskatchewan.

Wednesday is the final day for DiscoverEstevan's 50/50 For A Cause ticket sales with Envision Counselling and Support Services.

Second winter? Maybe third winter? Or could it be that spring now arrives in May? At this point, all you really can do is make a joke of it. Snowfall finally started to accumulate in Portage Thursday morning after hitting much of Southern Manitoba Wednesday. All Watches and Warnings have ended, but light snow and breezy conditions are expected throughout Friday morning and into the afternoon.

At this point, all you really can do is make a joke of it, and with that in mind, third winter arrived last night, with snowfall finally starting to accumulate throughout Southern Manitoba. All Watches and Warnings have ended, but light snow and breezy conditions are expected throughout Friday morning and into the afternoon.

Snowfall Warnings continue Thursday morning for almost all of Southern Manitoba, with a widespread 10 to 20 cm expected today through Friday morning. The slow-moving disturbance, which impacted southeastern Saskatchewan yesterday, will pull another wave of snow into our region today, with moderate to heavy snow developing this morning and lasting throughout the day, and overnight into Friday morning.

Wintry impacts begin today across much of Southern Manitoba as a strong Colorado low brings substantial snowfall, strong winds and sloppy conditions between now and Friday night. 

A Special Weather Statement is now once again in effect for the Portage la Prairie, Central Plains, Red River Valley and Southeastern Manitoba, with those regions expected to be spared the worst conditions from round one today. Snowfall and Winter Storm Warnings are in place for all of Western Manitoba where 15 to 40 cm is possible by Friday night, along with gusty winds up to 70 km/h.
