Environment and Climate Change Canada said the storm, which appeared to come out of nowhere, hit southern Manitoba, with Winnipeg being one of the hardest hit areas in terms of rainfall.
“Forks recorded 31.2 millimetres of snow, while the airport recorded 25.7 millimetres. This is one of the higher snowfall areas in the province,” lead forecaster Brad Vrolijk told 680 CJOB start.
Strong winds with gusts of up to 80 km/h also hit areas west of the Red River Valley during the storm, and the gloomy weather is expected to continue until Tuesday.
