Crews are out on the streets of Winnipeg as well as the highways of Manitoba after the south got the first big snowfall of the year. 

Mark Melsness from Environment Canada says that for the most part, southern Manitoba received somewhere between five and 10 cm of snow.

Winnipeg received nine cm, while Portage and Morden received 10. 

Melsness says that Winnipeg shouldn't see any more snow. There is a risk of freezing drizzle in the forecast, but he says that's more of a precaution at the moment.

Could be a slow drive in the city

While crews have been clearing streets in Winnipeg, more snow has fallen since they began.

Michael Cantor is the manager of streets maintenance for the City of Winnipeg. He says that over 200 pieces of equipment are out on the streets Thursday morning.

Cantor says that crews are on the main routes right now and then will move to bus routes and other P2 streets.

While there are no parking bans currently, Cantor reminds everyone that the annual snow route parking ban begins at 2:00 a.m. on Dec. 1.

Residential streets have quite a bit of snow. Meanwhile, some major routes are bare, however, others remain snow-packed. 

Commute times will vary throughout the city this morning, but it's expected to be a slower drive for many.

Highways being cleared

Derek Trainer from Manitoba Infrastructure says that most highways in southern Manitoba, especially closer to Winnipeg are snow covered.

"There are no visibility issues per se," Trainer says, "but there is definitely when meeting and passing traffic some swirling snow when passing."

Trainer says crews have been out working to clear highways since early Thursday morning.

"If we look out west towards Brandon we're starting to see roads get to bare as the snow has left that area."
