Latest forecasts show a little more snow developing tonight over the Red River valley, perhaps 3 to 5 cm instead of the 1 or 2 initially expected. Latest radar showing a band of snow over western SK west of the cold front, resulting in zero visibilities in snow and blowing snow over Kindersley. <BR/><BR/>This Arctic cold front will push steadily eastward today reaching Winnipeg around 3 am or so tonight, with blizzard conditions developing behind the front and continuing into Saturday morning depending on how much new snow falls. However, even with minimal snowfall, there will be several hours of poor visibilities in blowing and drifting snow due to northwest winds of 50 gusting 70 km/h developing overnight. As a result, expect poor travelling conditions Saturday across the Red River valley with the possibility of some road closures of major routes like the TransCanada and Hwy 75.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
