Environment Canada has issued a blowing snow advisory for Ste. Anne, Manitoba, as strong winds and fresh snow are expected to make travel difficult. The warning, which also covers Richer and the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne, begins the evening of Thursday, March 12, 2026, and is expected to last until Friday morning.
Weather officials expect north-to-northwesterly winds to gust between 70 and 80 km/h. These strong winds will combine with new snowfall to create widespread blowing snow and very poor visibility on local roads and highways.
Drivers in the area should prepare for near-zero visibility and hazardous conditions throughout the night. If you must be on the road, authorities recommend slowing down, turning on your headlights, and keeping a safe following distance from other vehicles.
The blowing snow is expected to ease off by the morning of Friday, March 13, 2026. Residents are encouraged to check the weather before heading out for the morning commute as conditions start to improve.
