It looks like winter isn’t done with us just yet.
Winter has returned to Winnipeg and much of southern Manitoba, as residents are waking up to a fresh blanket of snow, with blowing snow and snow drifts.
It’s all part of an Alberta clipper that Environment Canada said is moving across the prairies to western Manitoba and the Interlake region.
Meteorologist Shannon Moody with Environment Canada told 680 CJOB’s The Start that more snow is expected in Winnipeg Monday night as temperatures fall throughout the afternoon and northerly winds pick up.
“It’s going to be quite cold — tonight we’re looking at a low of -18C, windchill values could be -30C into -35C,” she said.
“And really Tuesday night, Wednesday night… it doesn’t get any better.”
Moody said temperatures are expected to be moderate on Thursday, after a low of -28C Tuesday night and -25C Wednesday.
The national weather service said snow began overnight and will continue through Monday with accumulations 10 to 20 cm expected by Monday evening in affected regions where there is a snowfall warning. Northerly gusts ranging from 40 to 60 km/h are expected to produce reductions in visibility due to snow and blowing snow.
