Winter is not quite finished with Saskatchewan, as Environment Canada is forecasting yet another storm system slated to impact much of the province’s south. A snowfall warning was issued at 3:28 p.m. by Environment Canada. In it, the weather service forecasted heavy snow accumulation for a large portion of southwest and south central Saskatchewan, including Regina, Moose Jaw, Swift Current and Kindersley. Heavy accumulating snow is expected to total 15 to 25 centimetres while other areas will receive 10 to 15 centimetres. As of 3:28 p.m. Environment Canada could not confirm where the heaviest band of snowfall would occur. The snow comes as a result of a low pressure system approaching from the northern U.S. A special weather statement issued early Wednesday remains in place for much of southern Saskatchewan including Saskatoon, Humboldt, Estevan and Yorkton. The statement excludes the province’s southwest corner, including Maple Creek and Shaunavon.
