Residents in Ste. Anne, Manitoba, should prepare for slippery roads and poor visibility as a mix of snow and freezing drizzle is expected on March 4 and March 5, 2026. Environment Canada issued a forecast showing a 60 percent chance of light snow mixed with freezing drizzle over the next two days.
The weather office expects northeast winds to reach speeds of 30 km/h, with gusts as high as 50 km/h. These gusty winds combined with the mixed precipitation are likely to cause ice buildup on windshields and sidewalks throughout the community.
Freezing drizzle can be particularly dangerous because it often creates a thin, clear layer of ice that is hard to see on the ground. According to Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure, these conditions increase the risk of accidents and require drivers to slow down and leave extra space between vehicles.
Municipal crews and local commuters are encouraged to plan for longer travel times and hazardous conditions. Drivers should be aware that road surfaces may become slick very quickly as the weather changes.
