Residents in Steinbach, Manitoba, are facing hazardous travel conditions as a blowing snow advisory begins on March 12, 2026. According to Environment Canada, the alert also covers Niverville, Grunthal, and the Rural Municipality of Hanover.
The weather agency warns that visibility will drop to near-zero starting Thursday evening. This is due to a combination of fresh snowfall and strong north to northwesterly winds gusting between 70 and 80 km/h.
The difficult conditions are expected to last until the morning of Friday, March 13, 2026. Travel will be dangerous during this time as the blowing snow makes it very hard to see the road ahead.
Drivers are being told to use extra caution, slow down, and maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the weather and adjust their travel plans to stay safe during the storm.
