UPDATE: Travel not recommended in Lloydminster, surrounding highways

Similar conditions are reported in communities south of Meadow Lake, including St. Walburg, where travel is also not recommended due to ice, loose snow and blowing snow.

In North Battleford, roads are partly covered with slush and ice, while nearby areas such as Unity are reporting bare and wet conditions.

Highway 40, from Wilbert to the Alberta boundary, is partly covered with slush.

Further north, areas including Dorintosh and Green Lake are reporting reduced visibility and snow-covered roads, while conditions are bare and dry in Buffalo Narrows.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, more snow is coming through Saskatchewan in the coming days, as Old Man Winter acts like a party guest who doesn’t know it’s time to leave.

Meteorologist Christy Climenhaga said separate systems are expected to bring snow into the province overnight off-and-on through Thursday.

“We have one that’s rolling through northern Saskatchewan today, but as we move through tonight into tomorrow, a more potent system bringing with it some snowfall into central Saskatchewan,” Climenhaga explained. “Looking at some heavier snow, some wintry weather, kind of in a narrower band between Prince Albert and La Ronge is where we’re expecting most of that snow, especially eastward towards that Manitoba border.”

Drivers are advised to check highway conditions before travelling and adjust plans accordingly as conditions continue to change.
