The heavy snow that has hammered Winnipeg since Friday afternoon has led to an extended city parking ban.

The city will begin a major plowing operation at midnight Saturday after the city saw between 10-20 centimetres of snowfall. The normal snow route parking ban will be extended to seven hours rather than five, from 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday.
