What are your plans tonight? Want to spend time with tens of thousands of your fellow Manitobans? The Winnipeg Whiteout Street Party is going to be the biggest one to date according to Economic Development Winnipeg. It makes sense when you consider that it is game 6 with the Jets potential to clinch a spot in the Conference Final for the first time ever in the NHL history of this city and with temperatures expected to be around +30.  Ensuring you have the makings of quite the downtown party.
