The low was forecasted to develop over southern Alberta on Sunday with widespread snow developing to the north and west of the low. This placed the Edmonton region in the main snow band with 10 or so centimetres forecasted to fall across this region. The snow should move out quickly on Monday as cold arctic air pours southwards behind the low dropping temperatures to below average, but only for a couple of day.
Over Saskatchewan, the low is forecasted to bring a band of snow from southeastern region arching northwestwards through Saskatoon on Monday. It looks like this region will see upwards of 10cm of snow before the system moves off to the east. Behind the low temperatures are forecasted to plummet with daytime highs falling into the -15 to -20 C range. Luckily the cold snap does not look to last more than a couple of days.
