Residents of Sandy Bay, Manitoba, should prepare for slippery roads and sidewalks as rain turns into snow and ice overnight on March 20, 2026. The weather shift is expected to create hazardous travel conditions across the community that will last into the following morning.
According to Environment Canada, rain will change over to snow late this evening. The forecast predicts that between 5 and 10 centimetres of snow will fall by the morning of March 21.
There is also a risk of freezing rain starting late tonight and continuing after midnight. This combination of wet weather and freezing temperatures is expected to make local streets and walkways very slick for both drivers and pedestrians.
The change comes as temperatures drop from a daytime high of 3°C to an overnight low of -3°C. Local residents are encouraged to use caution when travelling as the rain freezes and snow begins to pile up.
