Residents in Niverville, Manitoba, are being told to watch out for icy roads and sidewalks as freezing drizzle and fog move into the area. According to Environment Canada, these conditions began overnight on March 3, 2026, and are expected to continue through the morning of Wednesday, March 4, 2026.

The weather forecast shows that the risk of freezing drizzle will likely return again overnight into Thursday, March 5, 2026. In addition to the ice, north winds are expected to pick up on Wednesday morning, reaching 30 km/h with gusts as high as 50 km/h by noon.

This combination of freezing drizzle and fog can create thin layers of ice on surfaces that are difficult to see, often called black ice. Local drivers and pedestrians should allow for extra travel time and be careful on roads and walkways during the morning and evening hours.

The intermittent drizzle and fog patches may cause travel conditions to change quickly throughout the day. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the local forecast as these slippery conditions persist over the next 24 hours.
