News Releases

Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a winter storm warning for a storm starting tonight and continuing into Monday. This storm is expected to bring snow, and at times, heavy and blowing snow. City crews and equipment are fully prepared to respond to more winter weather. 

Road conditions and visibility can deteriorate with the combination of snowfall and strong winds. Drivers should adjust their driving for the road conditions, leave extra room in case you need to stop suddenly and watch for blue and yellow flashing lights on road equipment. 

We will continue to monitor high traffic streets and apply de-icing material as required, beginning with Circle Drive and freeways. Crews are ready to initiate plowing and snow grading if the snow accumulates. While the snow continues to fall, the priority for crews is to minimize accumulation along high speed and high traffic streets such as Circle Drive, 8th Street, College Drive and 22nd Street.     

Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.   

Learn about winter road maintenance at saskatoon.ca/snow.  Stay in the snow with the Snow & Ice Report at saskatoon.ca/snowreport. 

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.
