Poor road conditions in Manitoba

The RCMP says travel is not recommended on some highways

in Manitoba due to heavy snow and blowing snow.

Visibility is very low in some of the highways in the interlake region where
whiteout conditions have been reported.

A number of weather related accidents on Highway 1 in the Portage la Prairie area have also been reported.

The Trans-Canada between the Ontario/Manitoba border and Winnipeg also has
poor visibility due to snow, with drifting and swirling snow in traffic.
