'This is just kind of the appetizer': Environment Canada says worst of spring snow storm to arrive on Wednesday

After a seemingly blissful week of spring weather, winter conditions returned to Saskatchewan on Tuesday just as fast as it left.
After a seemingly blissful week of spring weather, winter conditions returned to Saskatchewan on Tuesday just as fast as it left.
Rain, sleet and snow began to fall in the afternoon as a Colorado low spring storm arrived in Saskatchewan and began to move its way north from the southern to central parts of the province.
Environment Canada meteorologist Terri Lang says the worst is yet to come.
"This is just kind of the appetizer, a little bit of a system ahead of the main system. Throughout the night, we're going to see all the snow push up from the south," Lang said.
The brunt of the storm will hit Saskatoon on Wednesday as five to 10 centimetres of snow is expected to fall in the early morning and throughout the day. Snow could linger until Thursday before the weather takes a turn on Friday, according to Lang.
"This is pretty much on time for this type of system throughout the year," Lang said.
The return to winter weather certainly didn't make for ideal gardening conditions, and greenhouses and gardening centres like Dutch Growers are starting to feel the sting of a growing season that keeps moving further away.
