Manitoba is due for another major snowfall thanks to our neighbours to west.
Environment Canada issues a special weather advisory for Winnipeg and the central and southerly areas of the province.
Environment Canada reports that the system will move through southern Manitoba on Monday. It will bring heavy snow from the Parklands to the Ontario border and south to the Trans-Canada Highway.
The government agency expects that the heaviest snowfall will be in the Parklands or Interlake districts. Those areas will need to bring out snowplows to clear the snow.

Slips and falls are causing more Winnipeggers to end up in hospital this winter
Weather expert Bruce Johnson says “the most recent models show about 10 centimetres for Winnipeg, but the snow is going to blow around like crazy because the winds are going to (be) absolutely horrible on Tuesday.”
On Monday, winds are expected to reach 80 km/h in the Red River Valley. The wind gusts will be stronger on Lake Manitoba and the southern portion of Lake Winnipeg with projections of up to 90 km/h.
Johnson says we can expect temperatures down around -35 C on Thursday, “especially if it’s calm enough.”
But Johnson is warning about yet another Alberta Clipper “showing up on the models already,” expected to make landfall in Manitoba on the weekend.
