Winter wallop continues across Prairies, storm warnings in Ontario and Quebec

By Canadian Press on December 19, 2025.

Many parts of the Prairies, along with other parts of Canada, might have to dig themselves out ahead of this coming weekend as a wintry wallop continues.

Environment and Climate Change Canada says another Alberta Clipper is expected to dump upwards of 15 centimetres of snow across the southern parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The weather office says strong westerly wind gusts of up to 70 kilometres per hour are also expected.

Schools in many areas of southern Manitoba are closed for a second day in a row due to blowing snow and poor road conditions.

Environment Canada says travel is likely to be hazardous because of near-zero visibility, and road closures in affected areas may be a possibility.

Winter storm warnings have also been issued across north-central Ontario and into Quebec, where meteorologists are expecting between 30 and 50 centimetres of snow to fall.
