YORKTON Many southern Saskatchewan residents woke up last Friday to a landscape covered in ice. But even after the ice has melted away, the impacts of the storm remain. Friday’s ice storm blanketed areas from the eastern end of Regina to the Yorkton, Melville and Canora region. Scott McGregor, spokesperson for SaskPower, said about 57,000 customers were impacted. Customers found themselves without power for anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, but some in Melville are still in the dark. According to mayor Walter Streelasky, about 60 residents were still without power as of Tuesday morning. SaskPower said the outages in Melville are due to damage from the storm, whether it be a torn down line or the line connection to the home.
