Environment Canada has issued blowing snow advisories through central parts of southern Manitoba.
Poor visibility and blowing snow is expected as a fast-moving low pressure system is expected to bring wind gusts between 50 and 80 kilometres per hour, with four to eight centimetres of snow expected through the day.
Several divisions have closed schools in recent days amid extreme cold and winter storm warnings.
