    That kind of question is impossible to answer. Every year can be different. Expect the possibility of anything except sub zero. Expect wind maybe.

        Currently 3* and sunny in west central Alberta. Should stay warm enough to brown up before the next dump of white stuff later this week. Yay

              Best idea is to come and work for a successful farmer, then do what they do if you want to farm. This country has a habit of flushing out Europeans. In our area most, not all, but definitely most immigrants last barely 6 years.

                GWW , yup 30 km North of us looks like full winter still today. Glaslyn east to Spiritwood looks like Jan right now. Can go snowmobiling anywhere through that area.

                  Sask is a big place. Prince Albert is where the farmland starts to end and any thing above starts to turn to lakes rock and best fishing ever.
                  Black soil and brown soil zone in Sask.. Get a soil map from internet.

                  Climate is usually wetter further north and east.

                  Two main cities. Saskatoon and Regina. With Saskatoon being the larger.

                  Oil jobs and farming and mining.

                  Come for a visit you probably will stay.

                  Winters can be awesome like the last two or total hell with snow from November to May one. One year the trees didn't have any leaves till June. Cold spring that year.

                  I once went water skiing in Quappelle valley first week of may and it was one hot day back in early 80S.

                  Yesterday we woke up white in Regina but today its all gone, just a cool start to the week with more rain or snow coming. April is a transition month you can get anything from a sun burn, wind burn or Frost bite.

                    I think I'd head for South America instead.

                      Really? do they just quit farming or do they pack up and go back to Europe?
                      I'm noticing a difference in European immigrants here versus in AB. There most were intent on doing a better job than the Canadians, here it seems the plan doesn't generally extend beyond buying land in an area that is very cheap (by European standards). I know one Englishman told me he was surprised the first year he was here that the snow didn't thaw after a few days like it did "back home". If you haven't studied enough to know the snow is likely to stay in November in Manitoba how well prepared are you?
