If you have grown up on the prairies, you probably have gotten used to the changes in weather. 

Environment Canada's John-Paul Cragg gave a glimpse into why Saskatchewan is so susceptible to rapid fluctuations in the weather.

"The province is near the Arctic. There's nothing in between us and it, and we have the mountains to the west that help funnel down the cold air. Because we're so close to North West Territories, when the winds shift the temperature doesn't have a chance to warm up by the time it gets here."

He noted that a lack of large bodies of water plays into the situation as well.

"The big switch comes when we get the warm Pacific air. That's often why we have such a big swing in temperatures."

"In spring, the cold Arctic air up north and the remnants of winter battle it out with the summer-like weather that is beginning in the USA," he added.

With the thermometer expected to stay above zero moving forward, it looks like spring may be winning that conflict.
