Highway 1 near Winnipeg closed because of blowing snow, while snowfall warning in effect in the north
Drivers in southern Manitoba may be impacted by blowing snow, while people in the north will need to dig out after another dump of snow.
Environment Canada issued a blowing snow advisory for a part of south-central Manitoba earlier Tuesday because there was the potential for reduced visibility.
That advisory was lifted by 7:30 p.m., but at that point, Highway 1, from Elie to Winnipeg was closed in both directions due to poor winter driving conditions.
Environment Canada said strong southerly winds gusting to 70 km/h combined with newly fallen snow had the potential to cause poor visibility on Tuesday evening in the areas of Morden, Winkler, Altona, Morris, Killarney, Pilot Mound and Manitou.
Travel was expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations, Environment Canada said, and cautioned that visibility could be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero.
Environment Canada said the winds shifted to a more westerly direction, prompting them to lift the advisory.
<a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/rcmpmb?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#rcmpmb</a> would like to remind motorists that if you don’t need to be driving tonight, please stay home as visibility in open areas is near zero due to the high winds. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/MBHwy1?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#MBHwy1</a> from Wpg to Elie is now closed in both directions. If you need to be out there, please drive w/ caution.
