The Humboldt region got its second big blast of winter weather when a storm blew through the area on November 18.
In addition to winds that were gusting between 30 and 50 kilometres per hour, a large amount of snow fell in the region.
Though forecasts only called for between five and 10 centimetres of snow, it's believed that it was somewhere between two and three inches of the white stuff that fell on the region between November 18-19.
Highways in the region were again in poor condition as the storm rolled through. Loose snow, snow drifts, swirling and drifting snow, along with reduced visibility, was all reported on Hwy. 5 east and west of Humboldt, as well as on Hwy. 20 north and south of the city.
There was one collision that occurred on November 18, that could, in part, be blamed on the weather.
At approximately 9 a.m. on that date, an eastbound car rear-ended a gravel truck as it was turning onto a grid road a few kilometres east of Humboldt.
"The truck was slowing to turn left, and the car drove into the back end (of the semi)," reported the Humboldt RCMP.
The mid-sized car was badly damaged in the crash, but there were no injuries to the three occupants of the car, nor to the driver and lone occupant of the gravel truck.
In fact, the gravel truck was not even damaged in the collision. The crash merely knocked some snow off the bumper - it did not even damage a taillight.
The investigation into the crash is continuing, but it was noted that the weather was a contributing factor, because of reduced visibility on the road at the time.
By November 19, the snow had cleared away, but temperatures dropped to the minus-20s.
