Southeastern Saskatchewan residents prepare to hunker down in spring storm
Global News
Grain farmer Lee Stanley said his family is ready to spend quality time together indoors while the storm passes through.
As blizzard conditions continue to plow through southeastern Saskatchewan, residents and business managers are prepared to stay indoors.
Meteorologists anticipate as much as 50 cm of snowfall and gusting winds.
Grain farmer Lee Stanley said his family is ready to spend quality time together indoors while the storm passes through.
Stanley and his family are located about 15 miles from Carievale, Sask., and has farm lands in the extreme southeast corner of the province.
He also has lands on the Manitoba and U.S. borders.
While Stanley used to have cattle, he doesn’t anymore and said he feels for the farmers and ranchers who have to keep their livestock warm and safe.
“They don’t last very long — a newborn calf and weather like this. They come out soaking wet and they chill immediately. You have to get them into shelter and you have to get them dried often,” Stanley said.
Living in a rural part of the province, Stanley said his family is often prepared to stay home for a number of days with food on hand and generators to run their furnace and water systems if they lose power.
