Strong winds and snow sweep across Saskatoon on Monday

Saskatoon is under a winter storm warning as the city is expected to see 10 centimetres of snow or more Monday.

Environment Canada says an Alberta clipper is making its way across the Prairies and strong 70 km/h winds are expected into Monday morning, reducing visibility.

Environment Canada says with the wind chill, Saskatoon could get below minus 40 Monday night and Tuesday night.

The city of Saskatoon says city crews are ready for the winter weather, adding that de-icing material will be applied to high traffic streets like Circle Drive and freeways.

The city said some areas of the city are susceptible to heavy snow drifts and that the wind can undo some of the work city crews are doing.

The storm is expected to ease later Monday, and the city said a snow event will then be declared and major cleanup operations will begin.

Anyone affected by a heavy snow drift can report it by calling the city’s customer care center at 306-975-2476.
