SASKATCHEWAN – After a wintery mix of precipitation Thursday and Friday, including freezing drizzle, Saskatchewan is weather alert free and highway conditions continue to improve.
Danielle Desjardins, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, said Fort San, a village northeast of Regina, saw the largest accumulation with 20 centimetres of snow.
Desjardins added the agency issued freezing drizzle advisories Friday for much of the province.
“March can be quite snowy, especially during the shoulder seasons,” she said. “The atmosphere can tap into a lot more moisture, so we do tend to see these clipper systems produce heavier snowfall.”
RCMP said they had received 80 traffic reports in Saskatchewan, including 28 vehicle crashes since Thursday. On March 28, 2025 at approximately 1:30 p.m., Saskatchewan RCMP were responding to multiple collisions on Highway 11 near Kenastone when a semi collided with a police vehicle parked on the side of the highway, The police vehicle was damaged but the officer was not physically injured. No injuries were reported to police.
It’s still a good idea to check the Highway Hotline before heading out.
