Manitoba shuts down due to snow storm

It may only be October but Manitoba is switching their Halloween decorations for snow shovels.

Winter is here! Thompson & Flin Flon #rcmpmb had to dig out their snowbrushes this morning. Remember to always keep your windshield clear! pic.twitter.com/IMDL1C6pYJ

In northern cities like Thompson, Lead Rapids and Flin Flon, they’ve had their first snow day of the season. Many homes are without power in Thompson and children are excited to be building snow forts instead of studying in class.

This winter, plan a trip up to Flin Flon, The Pas and Thompson for the wildest outdoor winter pursuits: https://t.co/6Z0x4OF3zP #exploremb❄️ pic.twitter.com/S7OXw7NULK
