The City of Saskatoon will be ready throughout the day with plows and graders to keep major streets clear as Environment Canada is forecasting between 10 to 15 centimetres of snow on Wednesday.
According to a city statement, crews will be set “with plows and graders working to keep high-speed and arterial routes passable as snow accumulates. Meanwhile, sanding trucks will monitor and treat icy sections.”

Even with treatments, some areas can be slippery in windy, snowy and very cold weather. People should only travel if it is essential, the city noted.
The city advises motorists to be aware of the potential for “rapidly changing road conditions and adjust their driving accordingly.”
Once the snowfall ends, the city will declare a snow event, and city and contractor crews will keep grading and plowing all priority streets.
“Snow maintenance equipment will remain active until priority routes are cleared,” it said.
With reduced visibility, the city reminds residents to watch for blue and amber flashing lights and to “give road maintenance equipment the space needed to operate safely.”
During a snow event, residents can track progress through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map.
