Environment Canada issued a blowing snow advisory today to prepare people for strong winds with light snow that may create visibility issues tomorrow.  Drifting may occur, especially on streets adjacent to open areas.  Drivers should adjust their driving with changing conditions.

Crews will plow Circle Drive as drifting occurs and grade snow along streets with drifting. Sand will be applied to improve traction, with a focus on Circle Drive and other major streets, bridge decks and intersections. The wind will make this challenging, as it will blow away sand as it is applied.

Environment Canada suggests that if visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for taillights ahead and be prepared to stop.
