The thanksgiving snowfall of 98 left close to a foot of snow over much of Saskatchewan.
In Regina the wet snow clung to the tree limbs causing enormous destruction throughout
the city but for the rest of the province the wet snow, though inconvenient was welcomed
just for being wet. The later part of the summer was so dry and this load of moisture
will melt and soak in gradually. In Prince Albert the Provincial soccer championships
were interrupted with the solid moisture and it appears that TMSS sports programme
is going to need the TUCs field this week and prudently they are clearing the field
of the snow to speed up the drying process so that games of soccer and football can
be played. |
