WINNIPEG WINTERS, BY THE NUMBERS.
Real data from Environment Canada. This is what you are up against every winter.
THE HEADLINE NUMBERS.
SNOWFALL BY MONTH.
Average monthly snowfall, November through March (Environment Canada, 1981–2010 climate normals).
November is the snowiest month of the season — winter arrives early and all at once in Winnipeg.
A TYPICAL WINTER, MONTH BY MONTH.
WHAT 126 CM OF SNOW LOOKS LIKE.
A full season's snowfall, stacked against things you know:
One winter's snow would completely bury a hockey net — and stand well above your kitchen counter.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR DRIVEWAY.
126 cm a year is not one big event — it is dozens of snowfalls, each one packing down, drifting, and refreezing on your driveway. Most winters bring 20–30 separate clearing-worthy snowfalls, plus the windrow the city plow leaves behind every single time it passes.
- November hits hardest. The snowiest month arrives before most people have a plan. Booking early means you are covered from the first storm.
- Small snowfalls add up. Most of the season is 2–6 cm events — exactly what our 2/4/6 cm triggers are built for.
- Refreeze is the hidden cost. Every cleared driveway ices over again overnight. That is why sanding matters as much as clearing.
- Windrow never stops. Every plow pass rebuilds that ridge. Complete and Premium include windrow clearing every visit.
