As of 8:45 p.m. due to poor visibility and dangerous road conditions, the TransCanada Highway remained closed westbound from Headingley to the Saskatchewan border.

Highway 1 is open eastbound from Portage la Prairie to Headingley, but the RCMP reminds all motorists who do venture out onto any roadways to use extreme caution. Conditions remain dangerous.  Follow along updates of highway closures here.

The weather conditions have also prompted cancellations for schools, daycares and other organizations around the region. The Portage la Prairie School Division have cancelled buses for Wednesday. Schools in the city of Portage will remain open. Hutterian Schools and Oakville School are closed. The Pine Creek School Division also made its call for Wednesday: all schools will be closed.
