All watches and warnings have ended in Saskatchewan and now clean up begins.
Parts of southern Saskatchewan were hammered by a late winter blizzard that resulted in road closures including Highway 1 between Moose Jaw and Regina due to what RCMP say were multiple, non-fatal collisions.
One person was sent to hospital after a collision involving multiple semi-trailers between the Highway 33 and Highway 6 over pass Saturday.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Stephen Berg says those along the U.S. border received approximately 20 centimetres of snow, from Leader to Moosomin including Regina and Moose Jaw there was anywhere between 5 to 15 centimetres and he says a couple of centimetres for the Kindersley, Saskatoon and Battlefords region.
At one point the blizzard warning veered slightly northward and encompassed Kindersley and the surrounding region west to the Alberta border. Sunday morning all highways except a couple of secondary highways south of the Trans-Canada, all roads are either described as winter driving or seasonal driving condition.
Yellow Grass, Regina, Elbow, Assiniboia, and Bratt’s Lake all reported peak wind gusts above 70 km/h on Saturday during the storm. Some of the peak wind gusts in the province include winds out of the east in Weyburn at 80 km/h and Estevan at 85 km/h.
It was a chilly start to the day with many locations in the province reporting temperatures pushing minus-20. And Berg says a smaller snow producing system will move in Tuesday night bringing two to five centimetres of snow for the Battleford, Prince Albert and Melfort areas. However, the forecast will change up dramatically this week with day-time highs at times above zero expected. The first day of spring is March 2oth.
