The City of Saskatoon says another snowfall overnight forced roadway crews to restart priority street clean-up on Saturday morning.

Over five centimetres of snow was added to what had fallen on Friday, which crews were halfway through clearing.

Although plows were out overnight along Circle Drive, high winds left snow drifts that required more clean-up. The city said this would be the priority of civic crews and contractors’ on Saturday, along with other priority streets.
