RCMP update on winter travel conditions

With snowy conditions and gusty winds expected throughout the day, Saskatchewan RCMP updates its road reports and advises continued caution.

A release from provincial RCMP states, drifting and blowing snow is expected to continue throughout the day, hindering road conditions and visibility. If poor weather or road conditions exist or are forecasted in your area, consider delaying travel if possible. If travel is necessary, stay on roads that have recently received road maintenance. Saskatchewan RCMP continue to remind travellers to access information about road conditions and track which roads have been plowed, salted, and/or sanded within the last two hours at hotline.gov.sk.ca/map"

As plows continue to mobilize and the system moves through with winds dropping, highway conditions are expected to improve in the overnight hours. Motorists are also cautioned about frigid temperatures in upcoming days. Be sure to have a travel kit including blankets and other means to stay warm.
