The last time I was in Winnipeg I was driving home to Ontario, it was in April and a blizzard descended upon us. When it was over there were drifts up to the 8th floor of a 10 story apartment building. Never saw downtown, so thank you.
At the 17:01 mark you are on Notre Dame at Sherbrook. There is a beer vendor about 1/2 a block south of there. People (wrong place wrong time) have been known to get knifed there for a case of beer. The good thing is that the largest trauma hospital in the province is only a block away :~)
