Drivers heading onto the QEII both south and north of the city should be prepared for areas of highway partly covered in snow, with icy sections and snow accumulation on the shoulders. Blowing snow is also affecting the region, although visibility remains good. Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously and allow extra time for travel as snow continues to fall.
