Snow accumulations in western Manitoba could still reach 30 centimetres, and a Yellow Snowfall Warning<\/a> remains in effect. In Winnipeg, however, Stammers says we could see 5-10 cm through Wednesday, with more in the evening and Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Major highways south and west of Winnipeg \u2013 including the Perimeter and the Trans Canada \u2013 are either partly or fully ice covered, with reduced visibility.<\/p>\n
