The city of Saskatoon says city crews are ready for the winter weather, adding that de-icing material will be applied to high traffic streets like Circle Drive and freeways.

The city said some areas of the city are susceptible to heavy snow drifts and that the wind can undo some of the work city crews are doing.

The storm is expected to ease later Monday, and the city said a snow event will then be declared and major cleanup operations will begin.

Anyone affected by a heavy snow drift can report it by calling the city’s customer care center at 306-975-2476.
