Environment Canada says winter isn’t done yet as more snow hits Sask.

Regina and Saskatoon are getting hit with more snow, and it likely won’t be the last snowfall Saskatchewan sees this season.

Environment Canada said about three to five centimetres of snow is expected to accumulate by around 8 a.m. on Monday in Regina. Snow was falling in Saskatoon as well on Monday, but the weather service said it will be much lighter than the snowfall in Regina.

“It is March on the prairies,” said lead forecaster Brad Vrolijk.

Vrolijk explained that a disturbance is moving through southern Saskatchewan, bringing a narrow band of moderate snow into the region.

“It’s tracking eastward along the Trans-Canada Highway corridor this morning. It is fairly heavy snow at times, but fortunately it’s not going to last too long,” he said.

“We’re seeing the heaviest band through Regina right now, and we should probably see the snow taper off to something much lighter.”

Trailing behind the heaviest of the snow will be some lighter snow and flurries, Vrolijk added.

“It won’t really accumulate too much,” he said.

While Thursday officially marks the first day of spring, Vrolijk said it doesn’t mean the province will see spring weather.

“Expect some warm weather at times, and we’re certainly not out of the woods yet for snow, or even maybe even significant snow, in the weeks ahead,” he said.

“It’s not unusual to get fairly substantial snow right into the end of March or April on the prairies, so there will be more nice days ahead, but I don’t think we can say goodbye to the snow quite yet.”
