Provincial officials have re-opened both the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 10 through Riding Mountain National Park, though both roads are still full of ice-covered and slippery sections. Heavy truck traffic is once again being allowed in the park.

The Trans-Canada remains closed in Saskatchewan, from the border to Regina.

Today’s storm also left travellers on many other highways in Westman facing poor driving conditions, according to the provincial highway conditions map.

This screen capture of the Manitoba Highway Conditions map shows the slippery sections, poor driving conditions and closed roads that existed on Wednesday morning at about 1:30 p.m.

The map, which is available online here, shows continuing snow-packed and slippery conditions on sections of Highway 10 as well as many other highways near the Saskatchewan and U.S. borders.

Brandon appears to have mostly dodged the full weight of the storm.
