A report from the Water Security Agency says much of Saskatchewan will have normal to above-normal runoff levels following all the snow that landed in the first week of March. The southwest part of the province is on the outside looking in, however.

A stretch from Kindersley south to Swift Current, east through Moose Jaw, and southeast through to Weyburn and Estevan is expected to have lower-than-normal runoff levels, based on the precipitation we've had so far.

There's a chance of flurries coming up over the next few days, and that's something that surely wouldn't hurt farmers in the southwest. After a very dry summer, there was a serious need for snow to help with topsoil moisture. While the weather's been warmer recently, this prairie winter may not have its bags packed and a shuttle to the airport on the way quite yet.
