==DISCUSSION==

POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED IN MUCH OF 
SOUTHERN MANITOBA TODAY AS STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS DEVELOP IN THE 
WAKE OF A COLD FRONT. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE IN WESTERN MANITOBA 
THIS AFTERNOON AND IN EASTERN MANITOBA THIS EVENING AS WINDS 
DIMINISH. 

NOTE THAT A BLIZZARD WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE RED RIVER VALLEY, 
INTERLAKE AND AREAS JUST TO THE WEST OF LAKE MANITOBA, AS WELL AS 
FOR THE MANITOBA LAKES.

TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO REDUCED VISIBILITY IN SOME 
LOCATIONS. BE PREPARED TO ADJUST YOUR DRIVING WITH CHANGING ROAD 
CONDITIONS. IF VISIBILITY IS REDUCED WHILE DRIVING, TURN ON YOUR 
LIGHTS AND MAINTAIN A SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE. 

PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY 
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO 
MBSTORM(AT)EC.GC.CA OR TWEET REPORTS USING (HASH)MBSTORM.
