Manitoba Hydro says a downed power line left 9,200 customers without electricity late Saturday morning.
It took several hours to fully restore power due to the snow, said Hydro.
A spokesperson for Manitoba Hydro told 680 CJOB they don’t know how the line was downed. The power went off at about 10:35 a.m. and restored at about 5:30 p.m.
