Drivers in Regina and the province’s southeast areas might want to take some extra time in planning their morning commutes Friday.
Environment Canada is reporting that Regina and Saskatchewan’s southeastern sections had between two and four centimetres of snow fall on them; that’s about 1.5 inches.
“It can make roads slick. And if you have ice (already) on the roads, the light snow seems to polish it quite nicely,” said meteorologist Brad Vrolijk.
From Friday morning over the next 24 hours, he forecasted more light snow and some freezing drizzle.
“If you’re out and about, keep an eye on conditions. If you are travelling south across the (U.S.) border, definitely look ahead to see what the conditions are for where you’re going,” Vrolijk said.
The weather agency predicted small chances of flurries and precipitation in Regina for the rest of Friday. The high in the city is expected to be -5 C, and the low is expected to drop to -8 C.
Further southeast in Estevan, Environment Canada predicted a high of -3 C with a 30 per cent chance of flurries for Friday; the low there is expected to be -7 C.
A statement from the weather agency said, “a Colorado low moving through the northern plains of the United States will bring periods of light snow and freezing drizzle to southeastern Saskatchewan.
“Extended periods of freezing drizzle are possible, but the exact timing and location is uncertain at this time. This mix of precipitation will continue through late Saturday before moving out of the area.”
