The Blizzard Warnings issued for Southern Manitoba and the nearby areas is still under place as the whole of province prepares for one of the most powerful Christmas Day/Boxing Day storms in years. According to the latest update issued by Environment Canada on Sunday morning, bands of snow are approaching from the Colorado Low as they have moved over southeastern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba on Sunday morning. The snow will increase in intensity through the late afternoon and evening with heavy snow expected over most areas on Sunday night.

CMOS Accredited Weathercaster, Chris Sumner, mentioned on Christmas morning that “depending on how exactly this storm tracks, and just where the heaviest snow falls, this could by winter storm we are talking about long after moves out of our area.” It was added that “strong northerly winds gusting from 60 to 70 km/h will develop Sunday night, and persist through Boxing Day Monday afternoon. The combination of moderate to heavy snowfall, and the strong winds, will produce near zero visibility in snow and blowing snow over open areas Sunday night and Monday. Blizzard conditions are expected over the Red River valley and Southwestern Manitoba where the winds should be the strongest.”

Summer explained that “with the expectation of travel becoming very difficult, if not nearly impossible in some areas, think of this as an opportunity for another hand of Uno, Skip-Bo or Phase 10, or the chance to have that third helping of turkey.”
