With the massive snowstorm that hit over the weekend, the month of March certainly entered like a lion in 2024. The system managed to pass through a majority of west-central Saskatchewan Saturday and Sunday, accumulating varying amounts looking around the region. 

At the top of that list looking at total precipitation was the Biggar-Wilkie area. The weather station at Scott was busy, with 1.9 mm of total precipitation seen Friday, jumping to 7.7 mm Saturday, and then slightly less at 6.8 mm on Sunday.

Kindersley saw the next biggest dump with approximately 10 CM of snow. 9 CM fell during the blizzard on Saturday, and then 0.8 cm fell on Sunday as the weather actually smartened up a bit. Leader came in at 9.1 mm total, Outlook was at 8.6 mm, and then surprisingly it was Rosetown who totaled the least amount of moisture, coming in at 7.2 mm of total precipitation. 

Of these weather stations, the areas with the most amount of snow on the ground entering the week were Leader at 21 cm, Kindersley at 20 cm, Scott coming in at 12 cm, Outlook 9 cm, and then to the north the area east of Rosetown is reading 8 cm total of snowfall on the ground.

While things have tapered off for now, more snow is in the forecast this week. Expect a check-in with Environment Canada on the situation ahead.
