Monday

A cold front greeted Saskatonians Monday morning with light snow to start the day and temperatures in minus double digits before cool west-northwesterly winds kicked in.

Sustained speeds of 55 km/h with gusts in excess of 70 km/h made for a wild morning with blowing snow reducing visibility to one kilometre as the mercury fell back from -7 to minus double digits by noon.

We continue to cool back into the minus teens with wind chills into the mid -20s behind the front during the afternoon under a mix of sun and cloud with winds remaining strong, gusting upwards of 70 km/h.
