City of Prince Albert – Spring Snowfall Update

Prince Albert is currently in the middle of a two-day snowfall warning event. The City is providing an update on snow operations and service impacts related to the ongoing weather.

Snow and road operations

City sanders are actively out on priority routes, focusing on hills, intersections, and other high-risk areas. With temperatures fluctuating, some snow is melting on road surfaces; however, crews will continue to monitor conditions and respond to any areas where accumulation requires grading or additional attention.

Pothole repairs delayed

The ongoing snowfall and freeze-thaw conditions are delaying more permanent pothole repairs. Roadway crews are unable to complete permanent repairs until the seasonal freeze-thaw cycle has ended and conditions stabilize. In the meantime, temporary maintenance will continue as required. Residents are encouraged to report potholes through the City’s reporting channels.

Flood prevention reminder

Residents are asked to help prevent basement flooding by ensuring that snow is moved away from basement windows, foundations, and exterior walls. This helps reduce meltwater buildup as temperatures fluctuate.

Frozen catch basins

Residents are also encouraged to report frozen or blocked catch basins to help prevent localized flooding during melt periods.

Concerns can be reported to the Solutions Hub at 306-953-4884, or online at:

The City thanks residents for their patience and cooperation as crews continue responding to weather conditions across the community.
