Saskatchewan experiences extremes of climate, with temperatures varying from -40° C to +40° C, moisture conditions from drought to torrential downpours, and severe storms from winter blizzards to summer tornadoes… By Canadian, and even world standards, southern Saskatchewan stands out as a sunshine haven.

“Above, a bleached-denim sky and flying cloud. Below, the valley bottom, the quilt of crop and summerfallow darkening and lightening with shadow and sun as the clouds streamed overhead, the turtle-backed sandbars sunning themselves in the slow pulse of a drought-starved river. Across the way, the tops of the poplars shivered in unison as the road switched back and forth like a cat’s tail up the sides of the opposing hills.”
~ Guy Vanderhaeghe, Homesick

But for now, it was as though a magnificent breath were being held; still puffs of cloud were high in the sky, retaining their shapes for hours on end, one of them near the horizon, presenting a profile view of blown cheeks and extended lips like the wind personification upon an old map.”
~ W. O. Mitchell, Who Has Seen the Wind

“But the one thing here and the big thing too, that help to make up for the beautiful things left behind are those glorious sunsets, which light up the sky and all earth with those infinite hues that can be seen in no comparable place out of the northern countries.”
