There is no doubt that winter is setting up residency in Saskatchewan.  

The mild fall weather came to a screeching halt beginning late Monday afternoon with the first blizzard of the season arriving.

Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Danielle Desjardins confirmed the Humboldt area along with the Melfort region felt the brunt of the storm this week, receiving the most amount of snowfall in Saskatchewan.
