'Colorado Low' expected to bring extended blizzard conditions to Sask. (CTV News)

April is here and Easter is right around the corner, but the weather this week is going to be unrelenting and we are bracing for a potent spring storm that ...

Then on Wednesday, a large portion of southern and central Saskatchewan looks to be impacted by the snow with lighter amounts to the west and north. Halifax Regional Police responded to the stabbing on Barrington Street, near Scotia Square, before 9 p.m. The winds are going to be another major factor in this system, with gusts between 70 and 90 kilometres per hour possible. The main concerns with this spring storm are reduced visibility in blowing snow, prolonged blizzard conditions leading to closures on highways (which looks very likely), and widespread power outages. No one is allowed to leave their residential compounds, even to buy food, meaning residents rely on the government or private delivery drivers stretched thin by the massive demand. With that in mind, you’ll want to postpone any travel (don’t risk it, stay home) and you’ll also want to think about preparing for having to be at home in a power outage. The weather maker here is a Colorado Low that is going to bring heavy snow and gusting winds. As we head into Tuesday this powerful low is tracking through the northern plains in the United States, on its way towards the eastern prairies and Ontario tonight. Some areas in Manitoba may see up to 80 centimetres. Environment Canada is warning of a major storm coming to southern Manitoba this week that has the potential to be the worst blizzard in decades. There is still some model variation on the exact path and totals, but the storm is starting to come into better focus as it gets closer to us. This has the potential to be one of the worst spring storms in decades (rivalling the blizzard of 1997 in Manitoba), with blizzard and near-blizzard conditions expected.
