Hey there, time traveller!

A weekend of blizzard conditions and extreme temperature swings has brought traffic and supply deliveries to a standstill in Westman.
This is following a blizzard that blew through southern Manitoba on Thursday night and Friday morning, bringing snow and high winds that closed several highways.
A notice posted on Sobeys Brandon South’s Facebook page by franchise operator Ryan Hackett stated food deliveries are being delayed due to the inclement weather, so some products may run out.
“Winter can end now,” he wrote.
An update will be provided as soon as he is notified when products will start arriving.
Motorists are being advised by the provincial government to stay off highways in Brandon and surrounding communities due to icy conditions and blowing snow. Freezing rain that turned into blowing snow during Saturday night and Sunday morning has created slick driving conditions and city streets.
To find out the latest road conditions, closures and reopenings, visit the province’s road and traveller information website at manitoba511.ca.
