SASKATCHEWAN – The Saskatchewan Highway Hotline is advising the public many of Saskatchewan’s highways are not recommended for travel after multiple days of snowfall.
Meanwhile, much of southern Saskatchewan is under blowing snow advisory. Environment Canada says winds gusting up to 60 km/h combined with falling snow are creating reduced visibilities in blowing snow. The winds will gradually taper off and visibilities will improve this afternoon.
Here’s the Highway Hotline’s summary of road conditions for 7 a.m.
