The City of Regina is ready for treacherous conditions as an Alberta clipper continued to blow its way through the province Wednesday, wreaking havoc along the way.
Weather alerts blanketed most of the province, as Regina expected to get around five centimetres of snow along with 100-kilometre-per-hour winds Wednesday evening.
The snow mixed with furious winds also make another weather phenomenon a very real possibility; a snow squall watch was in effect for the Regina area.
Terri Lang, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says the best way to keep yourself and others safe during hazardous weather events is to just stay home.
A wheeled ice fishing trailer was spotted speeding across Saskatchewan’s Lac Pelletier on January 13 as powerful winds swept the region prompting a snow squall warning. Canada’s environment agency issued extreme weather alerts for most of Saskatchewan, warning of “freezing rain” and winter storms. Police also responded to car crashes linked to the weather, Canadian media reported.
