Winter conditions on highways as winter storm takes aim on Saskatchewan

Winter storm to blanket west central Saskatchewan with heavy snow.

West central Saskatchewan is bracing for significant snowfall as a winter storm moves into the region. Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings, with heavy snow expected to continue through Saturday into Sunday.

A large swath could see 20 to 30 centimetres of snow, making travel hazardous. As the storm intensifies, reduced visibility and slippery road conditions are likely. Drivers are urged to adjust travel plans and stay updated on road conditions through the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline.

Meteorologists advise residents to prepare for delays and ensure emergency kits are ready.

The snowfall is expected to taper off by late Sunday, but blowing and drifting snow may persist, prolonging impacts. For up-to-date weather alerts and safety information, visit the Environment Canada website.
