SK Snowstorm Road Oct 24 2022 .“Accumulating freezing rain is possible along both the Trans-Canada Highway and Yellowhead Highway corridors,” said Environment Canada..“Storm total snowfall of 10- to 20-cm is expected.”.On Monday morning, Environment Canada meteorologist Kyle Ziolkowski said there are traffic jams, power outages, and significant amounts of snow across central and southern Saskatchewan..“As far as snowfall totals, just judging from the pictures we’ve seen, it looks like we could’ve seen 10- to 15-cm in the Moose Jaw region,” said Ziolkowski..“In Regina, it looked like maybe five-cm fell there.”.Regina roads are a little wet and slick in parts of the city, but nothing compared to Moose Jaw..In Moose Jaw and surrounding areas, the highways are closed and traffic is gridlocked due to all the snow..Moose Jaw public transit service is cancelled until the city can clean up the roads, and the earliest the transit could restart is late Monday afternoon.. SK Storm Moose Jaw Oct 23 2022 .Ziolkowski said the worst part of the storm moved on east to Manitoba..“Things will kind of clear out as the day moves along. There is a little disturbance that's going to come in overnight in Regina and it could give you a little skiff of snow, but it’s not going to be anything significant,” said Ziolkowski..According to SaskTel, the areas of Caronport, Tuxford, and Briercrest have major service outages including internet, landline, and wireless..All three services are “completely wiped out.”.Because of the highway conditions, SaskTel could not reach the affected areas to restore the services..SaskTel said “as soon as the conditions improve, crews will be dispatched to the affected areas and services will be restored as quickly as possible.”.The good news from EC is that the temperatures will be back above zero starting Wednesday and no snow's in the forecast for the foreseeable future..Ziolkowski blamed a low-pressure storm from Colorado for the storm..“What happened was we had a Colorado Low that developed in the U.S. and it started to swing up into the northern U.S. plains and it started dumping some snow over southeastern and south central Saskatchewan,” said Ziolkowski.
