Residents in Dauphin, Manitoba, are facing light snow and gusty winds that are making travel difficult on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. The weather is creating slippery roads and reducing visibility during the morning and evening commutes.
According to Environment Canada, there are currently no formal weather alerts in place for the region. However, northeast winds are blowing at 30 kilometres per hour and gusting up to 50 kilometres per hour, creating a wind chill near -26.
The combination of snow and wind is expected to cause delays for local drivers and school bus operators. Residents are encouraged to leave extra time for any travel throughout the day, as blowing snow can significantly reduce visibility on regional highways.
Safety guidelines from Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure advise motorists to exercise caution on local roads and sidewalks. The gusty conditions are expected to continue until the winds begin to calm later this evening.
