Digging out from one foot (30 cm) of snow.
The previous records for April 25 and 26 were 9.4 cm in 1954 and 7.6 cm in 1945 respectively.
26 Apr 2015 – Power has been restored for most of Saskatoon and city crews are out in force clearing streets following this weekend’s record-breaking 30 centimeters (12 inches) snowfall.
Heavy wet snow caused homes, businesses and traffic lights in many areas across the city to lose power over the weekend.
By 4:20 a.m. Sunday morning, snow covered branches and power lines caused more power outages throughout the city.
The outage also knocked out the city’s website, phone lines and service alert system (SAS) — a system that notifies residents via text and email of emergencies, power outages, and other situations across the city.
The city did not know the exact number of houses affected by the outage.
In light of the foot of snow, Saskatoon Police canceled their annual police half-marathon
