A fast-moving winter storm brought blizzard conditions to southern Manitoba, with winds up to 90 km/h and heavy blowing snow forcing highway and school closures, stranding drivers, and disrupting flights and essential services on Thursday, December 18.

Conditions were further complicated by power outages and widespread delays as the storm swept across the Prairies.
