About 30 centimetres of snow, high winds, falling temperatures hit province
Blizzard-like conditions that knocked southeastern Saskatchewan for a loop on Monday are winding down.
Although the worst of the snowfall has passed, southern Saskatchewan could see more flurries and windy weather through today and part of tomorrow, according to CBC meteorologist Christy Climenhaga. Temperatures this week will remain below seasonal in the minus teens.
In the pre-dawn hours on Tuesday, blizzard warnings had ended but travel was not recommended on many highways around Estevan and Moosomin.
Highway 1 from the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border to Headingley, Man., has been closed due to poor weather and winter road conditions, according to the Highway Hotline.
Police are telling drivers to check the Highway Hotline before heading out. The day before, multiple vehicles ended up in the ditch amid a variety of fender-benders, police said.
