Environment Canada blames a low pressure system stalled over northwestern Ontario for spreading the snow westward into Manitoba.
Winnipeg has received about 20 centimetres so far, with more than half of that coming overnight into Tuesday morning.

CARMAN, MAN. Electronic databases that contain personal information about some Manitoba students have been temporarily shut down following a security breach. The Maplewood system is run by an Ontario company and is used by 14 school divisions in Manitoba. There’s no evidence any data or personal information was compromised but some parents still have questions. It’s unsettling news for Carrie Last. Her daughter goes to Carman Elementary, one of the schools affected by the breach. “I just don’t know what all they put on there so it makes you wonder what all they’ve inputted into this system,” said Last.
