The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) predicts heavy snow and blowing snow on Sunday evening, leading to accumulations of 15 to 30 cm by Monday afternoon, especially near the Manitoba border. Reduced visibility due to heavy snowfall in this area may occur intermittently, prompting ECCC to advise against non-essential travel until conditions improve.
