---------------------------------------------------------------------
SNOWFALL WARNING FOR:
=NEW= LAKE MANITOBA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
==DISCUSSION==
SNOWFALL WITH TOTAL AMOUNTS OF 10 TO 15 CM IS EXPECTED.
WHEN: WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING
HAZARDS: HEAVY SNOW, AND AT TIMES GREATLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES
REMARKS: A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION WITH AN
ORGANIZED AREA OF SNOW THAT WILL BRING A WIDE SWATH OF ACCUMULATING
SNOW. HOWEVER, EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS SYSTEM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
BANDS OF MORE VIGOROUS SNOW PRODUCTION. THESE BANDS WILL ALLOW FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOW FALL RATES, CAUSING VISIBILITIES TO DROP TO NEAR
ZERO AND SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS TO ADD UP QUITE QUICKLY IN SOME
LOCALITIES. WARNINGS MAY BE ADJUSTED TO FOCUS HEAVILY ON THESE
BANDS.
THIS WILL BE A FAIRLY QUICK MOVING SYSTEM AND CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE ON THURSDAY.
PREPARE FOR QUICKLY CHANGING AND DETERIORATING TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
RAPIDLY ACCUMULATING SNOW COULD MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT OVER SOME
LOCATIONS. THERE MAY BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN
URBAN AREAS. PUBLIC SAFETY CANADA ENCOURAGES EVERYONE TO MAKE AN
EMERGENCY PLAN AND GET AN EMERGENCY KIT WITH DRINKING WATER, FOOD,
MEDICINE, A FIRST-AID KIT AND A FLASHLIGHT.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
