==DISCUSSION==

WIDESPREAD BLOWING SNOW CONTINUES FOR SOUTHERN MANITOBA TODAY. 

RECENT SNOWFALL, WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 80 KM/H, AND FALLING 
TEMPERATURES HAVE CREATED CONDITIONS SUITABLE FOR WIDESPREAD 
REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY. 

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.

TRAVEL WILL LIKELY BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY. THERE 
MAY BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ROAD CLOSURES ARE 
POSSIBLE. CONSIDER POSTPONING NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL UNTIL CONDITIONS 
IMPROVE.
