2 lines far apart = DRY. Except where they get closer at 400mb. That's some very high scattered thin clouds typical of High Pressure about 25,000 feet up
Record breaking cold, for this time of year, in Saskatchewan yesterday
Wow, those records look kind of soft to be honest. Here's some low temperatures around Alberta yesterday:
Red Deer: -32.2C
Edson: -33.2C
Edmonton Airport: -33.6C
Grande Prairie: -33.6C
Sundre: -33.7C
High Level: -34.3C
Grande Cache: -36.0C
Not sure if any of these are records. The Edmonton one is not a record.

10 to 20 centimetres of snow by Friday morning.
An area of heavy snow over West-Central Alberta is expected to produce total snowfall accumulations of 10 to 20 centimetres by Friday morning. However, embedded bands of heavier snow are likely, which may produce locally higher amounts up to 30 centimetres.

All I know is that my son is a geologist (wellsite) who is very grateful he headed out of Whitecourt just as the cold front was moving in (and for a change he missed travelling in the snowstorm).
Truly I don't remember getting this cold this early (maybe in the 70's but....)
