T'was the day before a winter storm, and all through our homes, everyone was stirring to make sure their snowblower would go. Perhaps not the best adaptation of the Christmas story classic, but a good indication of what many across the region will be doing today ahead of a multi-day event still on track to bring substantial snowfall and difficult travel conditions.

As things become clearer regarding the impending Colorado low set to impact Southern Manitoba Tuesday night through much of the remainder of the week, Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Statement for the entire region.

In Manitoba, it's pretty much always a white Christmas - it just depends on how white. For those dreaming of a little more of the white stuff after several days of near-melting temperatures, your wishes are likely to come true.

Although environment Canada hasn't issued any watches or warnings yet, that may change over the next 24 hours.

Two young adults are facing a list of serious charges after an incident Friday evening that saw a suspect pull a gun on officers, and one officer injured in the struggle.

Drivers are reporting very poor visibility due to thick fog throughout much of southern Manitoba Sunday morning, and Environment Canada has issued a fog advisory.

Visibility reportedly improves the further east you travel, with the Winnipeg region having good visibility for the most part.

From Environment Canada

Dense fog patches with near-zero visibility will continue into Sunday morning.

For those dreaming of a white Christmas, after several days of near melting temperatures, your wishes are likely to come true.
