Parts of southern Manitoba are again under a freezing rain warning Tuesday morning.
"Brandon, Manitoba, for example, (has experienced) a lot of freezing drizzle in the overnight period," says Eric Dykes, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.
With a continued risk of freezing rain in the area, Dykes warns of potentially slick conditions in the southwestern corner of the province.
"We could have really icy roads come mid-morning (Tuesday) onwards," says Dykes.
Looking eastward toward the capital, there is a "very brief chance" of freezing rain occurring.
"We're looking more towards the afternoon with the onset of the snow," explains Dykes. "The potential will be for just a quick shot of some freezing rain in through the Red River Valley."
