Southeast Saskatchewan has been receiving its biggest blast of snow so far this winter, thanks to a storm that arrived Sunday.
Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning for the system, which is expected to bring 10-15 centimetres of snow to the southeast. The storm is moving into the southeast from the northern U.S.
The snow started on Sunday morning and Environment Canada says it is expected to end tonight.
The Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure's Highways Hotline is reporting that winter conditions exist on area highways, with loose, swirling and drifting snow. As of Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., travel not recommended advisories had not been issued.
Norm Mack, the manager of roads and drainage for the city of Estevan, said a decision won't be made until Monday morning on whether to have a full-scale snow clearing effort, but equipment will be out very early Monday to clear snow from the city's arterial roads.
The Mercury will have more on this story as details become available.
