Out like a lion - winter storm roars through Saskatchewan

After experiencing temperatures in the mid-teens on Sunday, March 28, the western half of the province woke up to a raging blizzard on Monday, March 29.

Environment Canada says that a strong low-pressure system and cold front tracking eastward was to blame.

High winds and snow caused power outages and road closures across western Saskatchewan, including Highway 7 from the Alberta border to Delisle. The TransCanada Highway was also closed from the Alberta border all the way to Moose Jaw.

It may be officially spring, but March definitely went out like a lion.
