Residents of the southeast corner of Saskatchewan have had to shovel yet another round of the cold white stuff from their sidewalks and driveways over the last couple of days.

Environment Canada Regional Meteorologist John-Paul Cragg explained what happened.

"There was a series of low pressure systems that moved in from the Pacific, over the mountains in the U.S., and then moved just south of the prairie provinces. With each of these areas of low pressure, another band of snow moved through the southern tier of Saskatchewan."

"The area that was most heavily impacted was the area of Saskatchewan closest to the border with the U.S.," he added.

So you may be wondering, how much snow did we get?

"20 centimeters was received by Estevan over a 48 hour period," Cragg said.

"The snowfall wasn't that intense, however, when it builds up it can obviously cause issues. This wasn't an out of the ordinary event, though it definitely wasn't a small snowfall either."

Cragg also noted that some very cold temperatures could be making their way into the province.

"We're expecting things to get down to minus 27 for an overnight low, and with the little bit of wind that will stick around overnight, wind chills will get close to the minus 40 mark. It's at that point that we begin issuing extreme cold warnings."

"It's going to be cold, and dangerous to be outside. It's important to take precautions like covering exposed skin to avert frostbite, and dressing in layers to avoid hypothermia," he concluded.
