“We are looking at another system moving in tonight so that will spread some snow and rain in the south west into the evening and that will be pushing through southern Saskatchewan tomorrow, so a better chance of accumulating snow tomorrow maybe looking at a few centimetres especially in areas just to the north of Regina,” said Environment Canada Meteorologist Mark Melsness.

The Highway Hotline is reporting that winter conditions exist on a few routes around Regina including portions of Highway 1 West to Moose Jaw, Highway 1 East to Sintaluta and Highway 11 up to Davidson.
