TC25-10883

The City of Saskatoon has declared a Snow Event following heavy snowfall Thursday and Friday morning, with 12 cm of snow accumulation. Strong winds have also created challenging road conditions with drifting and icy surfaces.

28 graders and 6 plows are working to clear snow from priority streets like freeways, arterial roads and collector streets. Snow will be stored on medians, boulevards and parking lanes to maintain mobility. 14 sanders are working to improve traction in icy areas, and 6 sidewalk plows are active clearing City-owned pathways and sidewalks.

Drivers should be aware to adjust driving habits by slowing down and increasing following distances between vehicles. Give road equipment the space it needs to operate, and watch for blue and yellow flashing lights.

The status of snow clearing throughout the city can be monitored through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s level of service, can be found at saskatoon.ca/snow. Stay in the know by checking the latest Snow & Ice Report posted to saskatoon.ca/snowreport.
