Environment Canada ended all snowfall warnings that it had issued for central Manitoba earlier on Saturday. RCMP now warn drivers in the region to take caution on the highways, where slippery conditions and blowing snow make driving hazardous.
Police said there have been several collisions on Highway 6, although no serious injuries. They adivse people to avoid driving if possible, but if driving is necessary, make sure all lights are working, slow down, and be wary of large vehicles kicking up snow.
Another series of Alberta clippers swept through the prairies overnight Friday, bringing about 10 to 15 cm of snow to the northern grain belt of Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada expected the same amount in central Manitoba on Saturday.
The agency warns of changing road conditions, and reduced visibility. The accumulating snow may make surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots difficult to navigate.
