March came in like a lion for some areas of the province.

A system with snow and strong winds from northern Alberta travelled through the province late Saturday night into Sunday morning.

According to Environment Canada, the Saskatoon area received between 2-4 centimeters of snow which was accompanied by winds gusts of up to 73 kilometers an hour.

Mark Melsness, a meteorologist with the weather office says some highways experienced whiteout conditions for an hour or so.

Sunday’s forecast will see temperatures cool off before rising back to around the minus 8 mark. Melsness says a system expected to make its way to Saskatchewan Monday will bring milder air which will see temperatures hover around plus 3.

The RCMP sent out a news release Saturday evening advising the public that travel recommended on some roads in the province due to blizzard-like conditions in some areas.

The Highway Hotline was also reporting Sunday morning that travel isn’t recommended on a number of roads. For the latest road conditions, click under the news tab at cjwwradio.com.
