Weather in Winnipeg ranges from beautiful, with bright sunny skies, to the possibility of snow by the end of October. The scenery of falling leaves from the century-old elm trees which line the streets and Canada geese returning to their ponds at the end of the day, flying through sunsets over the prairie landscape is spectacular. |
