Road conditions still aren't the greatest in the Parkland and you can have a look at them here.
The storm has also caused thousands of Manitobans to be without power. The majority of the outages have occured around Winnipeg and Brandon but there have been a few outages reported along the east side of Riding Mountain near Kelwood, McCreary, Eden, and Erickson. There was also one outage in Dauphin as well as four reported near Gladstone. A quick look at the Manitoba Hydro outage page shows that those outages have since been cleared up.
Keep listening to 730 CKDM for road updates throughout the day, including the speedy glass road conditions report on weekdays at 7:30 am and 3:30 pm.
