Combines will continue to be parked as snow and rain continue to pound the east-central region.

Wayne Kosokowsky has been helping out on an operation in the Muenster area, he says some crops can survive this wintery blast but others will lose some value.

"For canola, it doesn't affect the quality unless it's laying in the swath," he explained. "For cereal crops for wheat and barley, it downgrades it quite a bit."

Kosokowsky says some operations might not get to the 100 percent point, even with a big turn in their fortune.

"If we do get some nice weather there is lots of opportunity to get it off yet. But if the weather stays cold and damp, some people I don't think will get done."

Overall, there has been plenty of good and bad when it comes to working on the harvest, according to Kosokowsky.

"It's been touch and go. We get down to the dry point and then get moisture and then you have to wait again."

Snowfall warnings are in place for many areas around Humboldt, including Watrous, Wakaw, Lake Lenore and St. Brieux. Humboldt has avoided the warning as of now, with a forecasted five centimetres expected.

Areas in the warning zone are anticipating up to or beyond 25 cm by the time the system moves out on Thursday.
