Environment Canada issues Weather Warning for Saskatoon: City crews ready

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a weather warning for Saskatoon, forecasting 10 to 15 centimetres of snow throughout the day Friday and into Saturday morning. This amount of snow can quickly create challenging driving conditions, including slippery sections on high-traffic routes.

City crews will be on the streets during the storm. Sanding trucks will manage icy sections while plows and graders will clear snow as it accumulates on priority routes.

Drivers are asked to watch for blue and amber flashing lights on road maintenance equipment and give operators the room they need to work safely.

Once a Snow Event is declared – following a more than 5cm snowfall - Residents can follow progress through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s winter road maintenance service level, is available at saskatoon.ca/snow.
