Residents in Steinbach, Manitoba, should prepare for slippery roads and sidewalks today, March 4, 2026, as the latest forecast calls for a mix of light snow and freezing drizzle. The changing weather could make travel difficult for people driving or walking throughout the community.

According to Environment Canada, there is a 60 percent chance of light snow mixed with freezing drizzle. This type of weather often creates a thin layer of ice on surfaces that can be hard to see.

Windy conditions are also expected, with northeast winds reaching 30 km/h and gusts up to 50 km/h. These gusts may blow snow around and make the air feel much colder than the actual temperature.

The afternoon high is forecast to reach -6°C, but the wind chill will make it feel closer to -16. These unsettled weather conditions are expected to continue into Thursday with a similar chance of snow or drizzle.
