Mild Manitoba winter positively and negatively impacting seasonal activities
It’s not called Mani-snow-ba or Winter-peg for nothing – winter is a fact of life in Manitoba and the normally cold season is the basis for many outdoor activities. The weather doesn’t always cooperate though.scene in Manitoba looks quite different in some areas of the province than it did this time last year.
About 200 kilometers northeast of Winnipeg near Minnow Lake, a machine used to groom snowmobiling trails broke through the ice. Fortunately both workers were OK. “They check the ice about every half a kilometer,” Brad Wall, president of Lee River Snow Riders said. “They get out with a chainsaw and different tools to check the ice thickness. But they came around a point on the lake and the ice started to break and the machine sunk in on the passenger side.”
