Blizzard Days

Jan 28th 2026

Right before the holidays, Winnipeg was hammered with two brutal snow days - highways shut down, near-zero visibility, cars buried in snowbanks, and power outages across the city.

Huge kudos to this crew for braving the storm with positive attitudes and getting it done. This is what dedication looks like.
