Winter Hits the District Again


Winter is giving the Rainy River district and Koochiching County another kick at the can.

The hardest hit area is between Atikokan and Mine Centre where a heavy snowfall warning remains in effect.

Highway 11 between Atikokan and the Trans Canada Highway is closed because of poor conditions.

Most other roads in the Rainy River area are listed as being snow covered with slushy sections.

Winter storm advisories have also been issued in Koochiching County where hazardous driving conditions are listed for most roads.
