Residents of The Pas, Manitoba, are preparing for a messy commute as two to four centimetres of snow and wind chills as low as -30 are expected between March 8 and March 9, 2026.
According to Environment Canada, about 2 to 4 cm of snow is expected to fall overnight on Sunday. The snowfall is likely to end after midnight, followed by cloudy conditions for the morning commute.
Temperatures are also set to drop, with the wind chill reaching -29 overnight and hitting -30 by Monday morning. The wind chill index indicates that the risk of frostbite increases quickly for anyone outdoors when values fall below -27.
Local residents and outdoor workers should dress in warm layers and cover any exposed skin to avoid injury. Drivers are also encouraged to check for road updates and plan for slower travel times due to the fresh snow on local streets and sidewalks.
