The southeast was hit by a system over the weekend which left quite a layer of ice overtop of the roads and highways of the area.
Down in the southeast corner, most roads connected to Estevan received a travel not recommended warning, which has been revised as the situation changes.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Daniele Desjardins talks about the system which brought in the freezing rain.
"In the southeast, we had a low-pressure system tracking up from the United States, so we saw a band of freezing rain develop ahead of that low-pressure system and it did bring some freezing rain to the southeast corner of the province. There have been some reports of travel not recommended and even one or two highway closures in the southeast due to the freezing rain, roadways and highways became quite slippery."
Desjardins details that the system hit the southeast harder thanks to some pleasant weather over the weekend.
"For the southeast, ahead of the system it was quite mild, but temperatures dipped below the freezing point. So that kind of exacerbated the freezing rain situation as everything froze. Temperatures dipped into the minus double digits, but still today quite a bit normal weather wise, expecting daytime highs to be in the -7, -6° range, which is kind of right on par for normal for this time of year."
With ice expected to stick to roads for a bit in the southeast EPS Sgt. Brayden Lonsberry talks about the best practices for drivers on the road.
"Make sure that you're vehicle's ready, if that means winter tires, that type of thing. Definitely slow down, give yourself lots of time, being aware of your surroundings when lights are changing, if there's pedestrians, anything like that. As a whole, just slow down."
