WINNIPEG – South-central Manitoba is under a freezing drizzle advisory from Environment Canada Friday morning.
Freezing drizzle and fog are creating slippery roads and sidewalks but conditions are expected to improve by late morning, the weather service said. The fog is expected to lift near noon.
“Freezing drizzle can produce thin, hard to detect layers of ice,” the advisory warns. “Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.”
