CITY READY FOR SNOW & ICY CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND

Environment Canada is forecasting 5 to 10 centimetres of snow starting tonight and throughout the weekend. That - combined with today’s rainfall - City crews are out ahead of the coming ice/snow storm proactively applying sand and salt on the priority streets before the rain starts to freeze and the snow begins. Crews will continue sanding and salting priority streets 24/7 throughout the snow event, with all equipment at the ready. Drivers are reminded to please use extra caution as roadway conditions change.

If the snow reaches 5 centimetres or more, private contractor crews will be called in to assist with snow grading on priority streets. Also, regular Snow & Ice updates will be issued in the morning and late afternoon and the Snow & Ice Interactive Map will be updated as priority streets are graded. These updates will be shared on our social media channels and Saskatoon.ca.

To report any dangerous locations please contact Public Works Customer Service at 306-975-2476.

From sanding icy roads to snow grading, City crews are Plowing Ahead and are ready for whatever winter brings this year!
