The City of Saskatoon has declared a Snow Event with 15 centimetres of snow accumulation this morning. Snow clearing activities will focus on driving lanes and warmer temperatures this afternoon and tomorrow will shorten the clean-up period as the snow melts.

24 graders and 4 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. 10 sanders are working to improve traction in icy areas, and 6 sidewalk plows are active clearing City-owned pathways and sidewalks.

Saskatoon Transit will continue to monitor conditions and adjust service as needed. Delays or disruptions may occur due to collisions, drifting snow or inaccessible bus stops. Riders are encouraged to check Saskatoon Transit service alerts and use third-party apps such as Transit or Google Transit with route notifications enabled for real-time updates.

Drivers should adjust driving habits by slowing down and increasing following distances between vehicles. Watch for blue and yellow flashing lights on road equipment and give operators the space they need to operate.

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.
