City of Saskatoon crews ready as Environment & Climate Change Canada issues Freezing Rain Warning, forecasts snow
December 6, 2023 - 3:30pm
Environment & Climate Change Canada has issued a Freezing Rain Warning and is also forecasting snow in Saskatoon beginning the evening of Wednesday December 6, and continuing into Friday December 8. City crews are actively monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond to changes in driving conditions. Icy conditions can develop due to the combination of moisture and cold road surface, even when the air temperature is above freezing.
Day and night crews will be continuously monitoring conditions and applying salt as required to address potential icy conditions, focusing on high speed and high traffic streets, bridges, and intersections along priority streets. Salt is an effective tool to address icy conditions during mild winter temperatures. Crews are ready to initiate plowing and snow grading if the snow accumulates.
Please be prepared to adjust your driving speed and keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead as roads may become slippery.
Watch for blue and amber flashing lights on road maintenance equipment and leave room for them to do their work safely.
Learn about winter road maintenance at saskatoon.ca/snow. Stay in the know with the Snow & Ice Report at saskatoon.ca/snowreport.
