Like the subject line says, I was listening to the radio and that's what the DJ stated.
That's a lot of snow in a short period of time. Heck, 15cm would be lots. Guess I may as well go grocery shopping tomorrow just in case.
Nothing better to do that munch out then

Yeah, Western and Central Sask are supposed to get it hard when it comes. Regina is currently forcasted to be right on the border of the rain/snow...so we'll be looking at sleet, freezing rain down here if they're right.

It's typical of Saskatchewan. Rain and then snow.
