Residents of St. Theresa Point, Manitoba, are preparing for 5 cm of snow and extreme cold starting today, March 12, 2026. According to Environment Canada, the snowfall is expected to arrive this afternoon and continue through Friday morning.
Temperatures will drop to a low of -19°C tonight, but wind chills will make it feel much colder. Wind chills are expected to reach -32°C during the day and -28°C overnight, which brings a risk of frostbite for anyone spending time outdoors.
The St. Theresa Point Anisininew Nation is an isolated community that depends on seasonal winter roads to receive essential supplies like fuel and food. Fresh snow and extreme temperatures can make travel difficult on these temporary ice roads.
Drivers should be ready for winter road conditions as the snow accumulates. Residents are encouraged to dress warmly and limit their time outside to protect themselves from the freezing conditions through March 13, 2026.
