Province Issues Risk of Ice Pileup Warning for Parts of Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre advises high winds expected to develop Friday afternoon and last until Saturday afternoon may result in the risk of ice pileup along the south basin of Lake Manitoba as well as shorelines near Gimli on the west side and Victoria Beach on the east side of Lake Winnipeg.
Northwest wind gusting up to 75 kilometres per hour could cause an ice pileup at these locations.
Property owners are advised to take precautions. A map of the Manitoba Lake Wind Effect Forecast showing the affected areas is available at: https://gov.mb.ca/mti/floodinfo/floodoutlook/forecast_centre/lakes/wind_alert/2023/manitoba_lakes_Dec_08_2023_WindAlertMap_12H.pdf.
