At the Prairie Storm Prediction Centre, we learn why Manitoba has such extreme weather and what can be done to predict what's coming. Just outside Winnipeg, the Mariash Quarry provides a peek at Manitoba's ancient history as seen through layers of fossils deposited over 440 million years ago! In Jay's Gee! Ology he explains how tornadoes are formed." -- Container.
