More snow is inbound to Saskatoon as Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Central Saskatchewan.
The warning says about 10 to 15 centimetres of snow is expected to fall between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon.
“Heavy snowfall is anticipated to develop near the Alberta border and track eastwards across central Saskatchewan around midday today, continuing into Wednesday. Gusty winds accompanying the snowfall will cause reduced visibility at times due to blowing snow. The snowfall is expected to taper off on Wednesday afternoon and evening,” Environment Canada said.
