CREWS ON STANDBY FOR BLOWING SNOW & FREEZING RAIN FORECAST

For immediate release: March 20, 2015 - 5:06 pm
TU15-164

Current weather forecasts are calling for up to 20 cm of snow over the weekend, strong winds and the possibility of freezing rain. Crews will be sanding and salting priority streets and high risk intersections 24/7 as it snows, with all equipment at the ready.

If the snow reaches 5 cm or more, private contractors will be called in to assist with snow grading on priority streets. Also, regular Snow & Ice service alerts 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.

Strong winds and blowing snow could cause reduced visibility. Drivers are reminded to please use extra caution as roadway conditions change.

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