SaskPower says more than 100,000 households lost power Wednesday night because of the vicious snow storm that swept through the province. McGregor said high winds and blowing snow continued to hamper crews trying to restore power to some communities. High winds caused havoc to power lines across the province Wednesday night. That's when the wind causes power lines to start swinging back and forth, hitting each other. SaskPower is reminding everyone to stay away from any downed power lines because they may still be live.
