Residents of Niverville, Manitoba, should prepare for snow and blowing snow starting around noon today, March 12, 2026. Environment Canada forecasts about 5 cm of snow during the day, with another 2 to 4 cm falling overnight.
North winds are expected to increase to 40 km/h with gusts reaching 60 km/h by tonight. These strong winds will likely create local blowing snow, which can make it very difficult for drivers to see clearly on the roads.
The weather is also expected to turn much colder as the wind chill drops to -20°C between March 12 and March 13, 2026. People planning to be outside should dress for the cold and allow for extra travel time as road conditions could get worse quickly.
Safety experts from Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure and CAA Manitoba suggest that drivers avoid using cruise control and leave more space between vehicles. Drivers should also be very careful near snowplows, as it can be hard for operators to see other cars during these conditions.
