Over 3,000 stuffed animals were tossed onto the ice.
After a brief glimmer of spring late last week, winter came crashing back to Saskatoon.
About 15 centimetres of snow fell on the Bridge City from Sunday night to Monday morning, leaving many roads slick and sidewalks covered.
Environment Canada meteorologist Justin Shaer said Saskatoon can expect a few more centimetres of snow throughout the day Monday.
Shaer said a high-pressure system coming into the area will drive down temperatures but should keep clouds to a minimum.
“Should be relatively sunny skies and, unfortunately, cold temperatures for the rest of the week and into the weekend,” he said.
Environment Canada was calling for a high of -11 C Monday with an overnight low of -15 C. Temperatures were expected to dip to a high of -20 C Thursday, with an overnight low of .-31 C.
Snowfall warnings for eastern portions of province
While Saskatoon got its snow dump over the weekend, Shaer said eastern Saskatchewan was due for heavy snowfall Monday.
Environment Canada issued weather warnings for regions straddling the Manitoba border and areas around Regina, Estevan, Humboldt and Melfort.
Shaer said there is a strong risk of blizzard conditions on highways in those areas.
“Increasing northwest winds up to 50, gusting to 70 kilometres per hour overnight and heavy snow. So that’s going to be creating the blizzard conditions, near whiteout at times,” he said.
Snowfall in the affected areas was expected to be as much as 20 cm in most areas. Some regions, like areas around Hudson Bay and Creighton, were forecast to see as much as 40 cm of snow.
