Snowfall, winter storm warnings in effect for southeastern Saskatchewan

Snowfall, winter storm warnings in effect for southeastern Saskatchewan

CBC
Thursday, April 20, 2023 7:30 AM GMT

Hopes for spring were dashed Wednesday morning for many Saskatchewan residents, as they woke up to a blanket of white that has led to mass highway closures in the southern region.

Snowfall or winter storm warnings issued for the entire southeast corner of Saskatchewan early Wednesday morning remain in effect.

The weather has resulted in terrible road conditions for much of the province, including highway closures south of Regina.

"This storm is well underway and sort of unfolding the way we thought it would," said Terri Lang, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), on Wednesday, adding that the storm is on par with those of past springs.

"There'll still be some snow lingering and some stronger winds through tomorrow, but they won't be as strong and the snow still won't be as heavy tomorrow."

A low pressure complex near the Canada-United States border is travelling east, bringing heavy snowfall to southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba, according to the ECCC website.

The weather agency expected snow to be heaviest Wednesday morning, but snow is expected to accumulate into Thursday.

Places under a snowfall warning in Saskatchewan, including Regina, could see 10 to 20 cm of snow and periods of blowing snow, with winds gusting up to 50 km/h.

Locations under a winter storm warning, such as the Carlyle-Oxbow-Carnduff-Bienfait-Stoughton area, may get 15 to 40 cm of snow, with winds up to 50 km/h, gusting to 70 km/h.

ECCC says the weather may make travel difficult and reduce visibility.

It suggests postponing non-essential travel, but those who are travelling should be prepared for quickly worsening conditions.

"I'm going to knock on wood right now because it has been very, very quiet at our call centre," CAA Saskatchewan's vice president of operations Peter Kreis, who is in charge of roadside assistance, said on CBC Radio's Morning Edition around 6:15 a.m. CST Wednesday.

"I'm hoping that people are heeding the warnings and staying put."

As of 1:45 p.m. CST, Saskatchewan's Highway Hotline map shows most of the province's roads are experiencing winter conditions, but most of the roads in the southeastern corner also have poor visibility.
