Could see upwards of 15 cm

Another snowfall event heading our way

Spring is here, but the weather will be wintery across central Saskatchewan. 

An area north of Highway 16 can expect significant snow tonight through tomorrow. 

Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Terri Lang told northeastNOW a system is making its way into Saskatchewan from the west. 

“We are expecting the snow to start this evening, probably be the heaviest after midnight towards early morning, but it continues on-and-off and tapering off finally towards the end of the afternoon,” Lang said.  

Prince Albert, North Battleford, Humboldt, and the northeast can expect around 12 to 15 cm of snow with this system when it’s all said and done. The La Ronge area should see less as the system tracks through the central part of the province, while southern Saskatchewan could get some freezing rain as well.

Lang said while the wind won’t be as bad with this system as some others, we could see some blowing and drifting snow along the highways. Within communities, the snow could accumulate a little more, and the icy conditions underneath may make driving and walking a little sketchy over the next few days. 

Once the snow moves on, cold Arctic air will follow. While it won’t be as cold as we would have seen during the winter, Lang said overnight lows will be in the –20 C range Wednesday and Thursday, with windchills at around –30 C at times. 

“Something to keep in mind, not to take the flip flops out of the closet quite yet.” 

Lang recommends travellers check the Highway Hotline over the next day or two to ensure safe travel.
