Several farming communities in Saskatchewan have already
been hit by frosts.
Environment Canada says the coldest place was Val Marie in
the Cypress Hills region, which dipped down to -2.4 C.
Freezing temperatures were also reported in Meadow Lake
and Eastend.
It’s too early to know whether claims will be filed with
the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation.
Saskatchewan Agriculture spokeswoman Shannon Friesen says
it is unusual to see frost this early in the season.
“Our thirty-year average for the first fall frost
typically doesn’t happen until mid-September to late September,” she said
Monday.
