Most schools are open in the Park West School Division and Rolling River School Division but the buses are not running. Colony schools in Rolling River are closed for the day.
Brandon School Division buses aren't operating outside the city. Spring Valley School is closed but Alexander School and O'Kelly School are open.
Heavy snowfall started Sunday, and by Monday morning, Brandon had received 22 to 29 centimetres, Environment Canada said.
Other totals in southwestern Manitoba ranged from 21-25 centimetres. The Red River Valley area, including Winnipeg, saw totals of five to 12 cm, the weather agency said.
All weather alerts that impacted Manitoba over the past couple of days have now been lifted, with above-seasonal temperatures expected by the weekend.
