The City’s first snowfall was approximately three centimetres of snow early Saturday morning. Because the roadway is still holding some heat, the snow melted and cooler temperatures caused it to turn to ice.  City crews worked through the night applying a salt application to weaken the ice, and sand for traction on all priority streets and many residential streets.  Roads are in good winter driving condition today and the forecast is for sun and cooler temperatures.

City crews are out 24/7 ready to address winter weather affecting driving conditions, with additional staff and contractors available as required.  Today two tandem sanders will continue on Priority 3 streets (main streets and schools, remainder of arterials and collectors) addressing trouble spots and sidewalk crews are sanding icy sidewalks.

Drivers are reminded to please slow down and allow extra time to get to your destination.  To report an icy intersection or street, please call our 24-hour Public Works customer service call centre at 306-975-2476. 

No further Snow & Ice Updates are planned for today, unless the weather conditions change significantly.

Winter has arrived in Saskatoon! The city experienced its first snowfall of the season today. Icy and slick driving conditions are the result of the combination of snow melting on unfrozen roads, followed by low temperatures. It is the City’s goal to make it safe for people to move around Saskatoon. Drivers are advised to use care and caution and to lower speed.

Today, the City has dispatched 9 tandem sanders and 4 one tonne sanders using a salt-sand combination to clear icy roads throughout the city.

City road maintenance staff are committed to doing their best and working as quickly as possible to provide safe winter conditions for drivers and pedestrians. For everyone’s safety, please watch for crews on the road. The large machines used are equipped with flashing amber lights, move slowly in teams of two or more, and can be found on the road at any time of day or night on any roadway. Drivers are reminded to please slow down and keep 15 metres behind maintenance equipment; be prepared to stop.
