Several schools are closed Tuesday morning as a departing Alberta Clipper brings strong winds to the area. 

A blowing snow advisory is in effect for Winnipeg and the surrounding area, with wind gusts of 70-80 kilometres an hour.

These winds, combined with the fresh snow, have led to widespread blowing snow, with the worst conditions expected this morning.  

These conditions are expected to improve by this afternoon.
