While Swift Current and Saskatoon continue to deal with the brunt of the storm this morning - Regina and Moose Jaw remain relatively safe...for now.

Snow, blowing snow, strong winds and dropping temperatures. Just a taste of what Regina and Moose Jaw can expect from the current blizzard warning.

Mike McDonald with Environment Canada says the worst of the winter weather will invade our area by the noon hour, with Moose Jaw feeling the effects first. McDonald adds given the way the storm system is tracking...there is a possibility that we will not experience much of in the way of snow but the winds will pick up and the temperature is expected to plummet throughout the day.

McDonald believes the worst of the system to be in the open prairies, creating reduced visibility. He also expects sheltered surroundings around Regina to shield us to a certain degree.
