Southern Manitoba awoke to a wintry wonderland Friday, after a pair of systems brought the season’s first heaps of snow.
“The bulk of the snow has passed, so the snowfall warnings have been lifted. But it’s still snowing, and the impact that this weather has already had will also continue,” Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) warning preparedness meteorologist Natalie Hasell told CTV News Winnipeg.
According to an ECCC weather summary issued Friday afternoon, about nine centimetres of snow has fallen in Winnipeg since Wednesday.
Brandon Municipal Airport reported 15 centimetres, while 18 centimetres fell in Morden.
Portage la Prairie, meantime, saw about six centimetres of the white stuff fall.
Hasell notes a couple more centimetres could still accumulate overnight before snow tapers off on Saturday.
