If you thought we had enough snow Mother Nature would say you're wrong.

Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Humboldt and surrounding areas.

"Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 25 cm is expected. Snow will begin Saturday morning near the Alberta border and reach the Manitoba border by late Saturday afternoon. For most areas, accumulating snow will taper off on Sunday morning. For east-central areas of the province, the heavy snow will linger into Sunday evening."

The RCMP provided an update on the situation:

A jury deliberated for about an hour Friday before convicting two men on human smuggling charges in a case where a family from India froze to death in Manitoba while trying to walk across the Canada-U.S. border.

Steve Shand of Florida and Harshkumar Patel, an Indian national arrested in Chicago, were each found guilty on all four counts they faced related to bringing unauthorized people into the U.S., transporting them and profiting from it.

Name That Tune was a great time this morning and JoAnne Spence was our lucky contestant. 

She got the first song correct which was Cotton Eye Joe. She chose to play it safe and walk away with the $25.00 gift card.

You could be next to play tune in Friday mornings to hear the song of the day.
