Reduced visibility is also likely with potential blizzard-like conditions.

Police said there have only been two minor collisions officers have responded to during the morning.

They are reminding drivers to slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, turn on headlights, and leave more time to get to destinations.

City officials said today’s conditions, combined with an expected dramatic drop in the temperature tonight, could leave streets and sidewalks across the city covered in ice.

City crews are monitoring road conditions and will apply a salt solution to help prevent ice build-up on priority streets.

Sand will also be applied as needed.

Drivers heading out of the city should check the highway hotline first.

Winter conditions exist on all highways in the region, with travel not recommended reported for some roads northwest of Saskatoon.
