Those areas are all expected to get anywhere from 5-10 cm of snow, while places like the Battlefords will only see 2-4 cm, and La Ronge will see minimal snowfall of up to 5 cm in the southern areas of town.
Despite the snow in some places, Colangelo said it won’t stick around for long.
“We do have some cold air coming in right behind the system, so the snow will stick around probably for the weekend. We do have highs of 6 C for the Prince Albert area on Monday, so probably most, if not all of that snow will probably melt by Monday or Tuesday.”
Along with P.A., the Northeast region and La Ronge will peak at 6 C on Monday, while Meadow Lake and the Battlefords will see a high of 9 C.
Until then though, emergency services have been issuing reminders about winter driving and to always check the Highway Hotline before heading out on the roads. Prince Albert Police have already responded to “numerous motor vehicle collision calls” on Thursday, with Parkland Ambulance reporting the same, some resulting in injuries.
“Motorists are reminded to allow for additional travel time to their destination, increase following distance, and reduce speeds,” said P.A. Police in a release.
