A 45 year old Winnipeg man is facing a number of charges after the stolen vehicle he was driving hit the ditch in the R.M. of Stanley.

Morden RCMP responded to the call around 7 a.m. Tuesday morning on Road 36 West, just north of Highway 3.

A 17-year-old female from Roseau River First Nation and a 38-year-old Winkler female are facing multiple charges after a violent incident late Monday night. 

Officers were called to a residence in the 100 block of 3rd Street South in Winkler after receiving a stabbing report, which led to them finding an injured 66-year-old male inside his home. 

As Special Weather Statements continue across the southern half of the province, round two of snowfall will begin this morning from a Colorado low which continues to impact the region. After 5 to 10 cm yesterday, an additional 10 to 15cms is possible Thursday through Friday morning. This time though, it will come with gusty winds which will cause blowing snow. With highways less than ideal already, the Portage School Division has decided not to run any buses today while the Pine Creek division will close all schools. All this, after a relatively calm night last night.

The storm system moving through the area is progressing much the way forecasters have expected so far. This morning, we're waking up to an average of about 5 cm of snow, with that amount slightly lower or higher more depending on where you call home. Amounts are higher as you head south of the Trans-Canada highway. It's the first round of wet snow across the region as a Colorado low moved through Southern Manitoba last night and overnight. Special Weather Statements remain in effect for our region, with significantly more snowfall on the way between now and Friday afternoon.

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.
