Wintry weather hits the Prairies
A low pressure system over the Dakotas is continuing to create wintry weather for southern portions of the Prairies.
"Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations," Environment Canada says in a snowfall warning issued early Monday. "Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance."
