Snowfall Across Northern Saskatchewan
Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals show how much snow varies within the region: about 112 cm a year at the Prince Albert station (for Prince Albert), compared with about 125 cm at the Meadow Lake station (for Meadow Lake). More snow generally means more events, more hours on the road and more exposure for contractors.

Sidewalk Rules Differ Across Northern Saskatchewan
Municipal sidewalk clearing rules are set city by city, which affects what property owners hire contractors to do. A few examples:
- Prince Albert: In the City of Prince Albert, sidewalk snow removal in the downtown Central Business District is a requirement of the Clean Sidewalk Bylaw No.
- North Battleford: The City of North Battleford gives downtown property owners 24 hours after a snowfall to remove snow from adjacent sidewalks (Sidewalk Clearing Bylaw 1900, Schedule A streets).
- Melfort: The City of Melfort page states that sidewalks are maintained by the City on a priority basis and shall be cleared on business days within 24 hours of a snowfall, under the Snow Removal Bylaw and its snow clearing bylaw map.
- Meadow Lake: The City of Meadow Lake requires property owners to clear all snow, ice and loose debris from any sidewalk adjacent to their property within 48 hours of when it was formed or deposited (Snow Removal Bylaw).
Each city page lists the rules and sources for that municipality. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality.
