Due to freezing rain and icy conditions in the Winnipeg area, LCV loads were adjusted to run as single-trailer configurations. Conditions have improved, and as of 12 PM, full LCV operations have resumed.
Weekend Weather Outlook:
- Prairie corridors are expected to see improved conditions through Saturday, March 7.
- A developing weather system is expected to move across the prairies late Sunday evening, March 8. This is expected to bring increasing wind speeds across Alberta and the Foothills on March 7, followed by colder temperatures and snowfall that could extend east into Saskatchewan.
Potential Operational Impacts:
- Rising daytime temperatures could result in a melt/freeze cycle, increasing the risk of icy highway conditions overnight.
- Strong winds in Alberta could impact LCV operations.
- Snowfall moving from Alberta into Saskatchewan may affect travel conditions.
