Residents in Garden Hill, Manitoba, are preparing for two separate snowfalls arriving on Thursday, March 5, 2026, and Saturday, March 7, 2026. Environment Canada is forecasting the fresh snow as temperatures remain well below what is normal for this time of year.
The upcoming snow follows a period of extreme cold in the community. As of March 4, 2026, wind chills have dropped as low as -36°C, which creates a high risk for frostbite for anyone spending time outdoors.
These conditions are much colder than the typical weather for early March. Usually, the area sees daytime highs of around -7°C and overnight lows of -21°C.
The combination of new snow and freezing temperatures may make travel difficult and could impact local school transportation. Residents are encouraged to check on their neighbours and allow extra time for any trips during the snowfall.
