The storm seems mostly over; it was 20cm of heart-attack snow. I was out with the snowblower for about an hour and a half. It may have been the second-biggest storm of the winter.
It's not unheard of in April on the prairies - in the time I've lived here, I've seen snow on the ground in every month of the calendar except July - but this much is definitely mostly unwelcome. We traditionally start saying things like "... but the farmers will appreciate the extra moisture" when this happens.
