Approximately 15 centimetres of snow fell on Saskatoon between Thursday night and Saturday night. The City declared a snow event at 6 pm last night once the snow stopped and Environment Canada’s Snowfall Warning ended, which activates the 72-hour priority street grading process.

Environment Canada issued another snowfall warning for Saskatoon today, predicting a total of 10 cm from Friday to Sunday. Snow is expected to continue today, getting heavier tonight and into Sunday. City and contractor crews cleared and continue to apply pre-wet sand on Circle Drive for traction. Major roadways such as College Drive, 22nd Street, Idylwyld Drive and 8th Street were cleared overnight, and there are up to 10 high-speed plows, 31 graders, 20 sanders and 10 sidewalk plows cleaning up on priority streets.
