Saskatoon remembers the great blizzard of 2007
A snowy Wednesday turned into a historic storm when Saskatoon was hit with one of the worst blizzards in living memory.
On Jan. 10, 2007 the city came to a halt when 25 centimetres – or 10 inches – of snow fell in a single day. Whipping winds gusting 70 km/h added to the winter wallop.
Taxis and buses stopped running, the airport was shut down and schools and businesses closed. But across the city, people stepped up to help each other out.
Brennan Pokoyoway worked at the University of Saskatchewan at the time and used to bike to campus year-round.
