Prairie snowstorm: Huge cleanup underway in Winnipeg, Regina, elsewhere following spring blizzard

The City of Winnipeg is no longer under a winter storm warning. Winnipeg and much of southern Manitoba have been under winter storm and blizzard warnings since Tuesday as a spring storm brought heavy snow combined with strong winds over the last two days. And as the “historic“ Prairie storm in southeastern Saskatchewan begins to taper off, highways are reopening and a snowy mess has been left behind. Areas in the corner of the province such as the town of Estevan faced a blizzard that started out being measured in centimetres, but is now better gauged in metres after wind and snow bombarded communities who are now digging out their way out. Meanwhile, Regina woke up Thursday to find that winter had made its abrupt return in mid-April. While southern parts of the province got the worst of the major spring storm, the Queen City received about 10 cm of snow. For more info, please go to
