As of Sunday morning, there were approximately 2,400 reported outages.

The affected areas include the Parkland region and parts of southern Manitoba west from Neepawa through to south Winnipeg and the Steinbach area.

According to Manitoba Hydro, most outages were due to heavy snow on trees, causing them to bend and contact power lines.
