March snowstorm blankets The Pas with record depth
The Pas weather office reports 13 inches of snow in a 30 hour storm that began Thursday morning in March and ended Friday afternoon. Wind reached 52 mph, boosting winter total to 35 inches. A few hundred travelers were stranded between Flin Flon Thompson and Dauphin, sheltering at The Pas. Hotels filled with stranded motorists, including 20 rooms at the Avenue and 66 at the Cambrian. TransAir guests rode out the storm in the Cambrian Hotel. EMO coordinated town offices, handling only non urgent calls during the crisis as highways crews began to clear routes to Swan River and Thompson by nightfall.
