It's the first snowfall, Saskatoon! Flurries predicted for weekend forecast

A system is moving in from Alberta is bringing a mix of rain and snow to much of central Saskatchewan.

Temperatures are expected to dip toward the freezing mark throughout the day Friday in Saskatoon. And that could mean amix of rain and snow through the afternoon in the city.

Much of central Saskatchewancould see light flurries on and off through the weekend with accumulated snowfall between 2-4 cm.

Pumpkin festival a snow-go

Winter-like weather isn't always so wonderfulespecially when you run an outdoor event like Black Fox Farm and Distillery's annual pumpkin festival. It'sforced event organizers to cancel this weekend's festivities.

"It is just not that much fun when it is snowing," said Barb Stefanyshyn-Cote, one of Black Fox's owners.

The pumpkin festival, which typically runs during the first three weekends in September, has already been postponed once this year due to bad weather.

The festival features a number of family-friendly activities including children's games, wagon rides and, of course, pumpkin picking.

"We have 15 thousand pumpkins that are waiting in the field for people to come and get them," said Stefanyshyn-Cote. "We don't know what's going to happen to them [the pumpkins] should the weather dip even lower."

Patchy predictions

Luckily for the pumpkinsand potential pumpkin pickersthe snow isn't expected to stick around for very long.

Temperatures should start to warm up a little Sunday evening and double digit highs are are expected next week.

The Black Fox pumpkin festival still runs for two more weekends: Sept. 29- 30 and Oct. 6-7.

Plenty of time of to pick the perfect pumpkin and plenty of pumpkins to pick from.
