Manitoba faces dangerous travel conditions as blizzard warnings are issued, with high winds and heavy snow expected to impact the region.
Winnipeg: A blizzard warning is in effect, and it’s looking pretty rough out there. Travel could be nearly impossible across southern Manitoba, especially as we head into Friday. The winds are really picking up, and they could hit around 100 km/h, making things pretty dicey.
Environment and Climate Change Canada is urging everyone to stay safe. They recommend staying indoors or in your vehicle if you get stuck. It’s all about protecting yourself from the cold and wind, which can be disorienting.
And it’s not just the wind; the temperatures are about to drop significantly. We’re talking about some of the coldest weather of the season coming in this weekend. So, if you thought it was chilly now, just wait!
As this cold front moves through, expect gusty winds and bursts of snow. Visibility will be really poor at times, so if you’re on the road, be extra careful. The snow accumulation might not be huge in Winnipeg, but further north, they could see 10-20 cm.
Traveling along the Trans-Canada and Yellowhead Highways could be tricky, so keep that in mind. The weather is definitely going to be a challenge, and it’s best to stay updated on conditions.
So, buckle up and stay warm, folks! This winter weather is no joke, and it’s going to be a wild ride for the next few days.
