Special weather statement for central Saskatchewan ends

By 6 a.m. snow was still falling throughout central Saskatchewan after accumulations between five to 15 cm from the Macklin area through Maidstone and North Battleford across Spiritwood and Prince Albert National Park and other areas.

Just after 10:30 a.m. Environment Canada ended its special weather statement for the Prince Albert area.

“The heavy snowfall warning has ended for Prince Albert and the snow is just tapering off now.  It looks like [Prince Albert] has received 14 centimetres of snow so far,” she said.

“I don’t know if we’ll get any major sunny breaks, but at least the snow will taper off and it will just go to clouds and with the temperatures right around zero we’ll some of it [snow] start to melt.”
