For the most part, the Saturday portion of our long weekend was quite nice with a calm wind and a temperature near the freezing mark. That all changed in the evening when the wind picked up and the temperature dropped in a hurry. Travelers also had to deal with blowing and drifting snow along with poor visibility.

A series of several fast moving low pressure systems will continue Sunday night into Louis Riel Monday, with the final of three clippers over the last four days, or so, expected to drop the most snow, potentially 5-10cms.

On the evening of February 16, 2023, the St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP received a report of a missing 28-year-old female, Breanna Lee Hudson.

The investigation has determined that Breanna left a residence in Ile Des Chenes in the early morning hours of February 16, 2023, and was picked-up by Shaquille MacFarlane, a 29-year-old male.

Police and family are very concerned for Breanna’s safety and wellbeing.

Breanna is described as 5’4” tall, with brown hair and blue eyes.

The Manitoba government is helping to kick off the 54th edition of the Festival du Voyageur, the largest annual winter festival in Western Canada, with a significant funding announcement.

The province is providing nearly $325,000 to support this year’s festival, which runs February 17-26, 2023. 

With Louis Riel weekend just around the corner, a lot of families will be travelling here and there with plans, whatever they may be. The question is whether the weather will cooperate, and allow those plans to happen without a hitch.
