Saskatchewan RCMP report that between 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday and 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday they received 120 reports of weather-related motor vehicle collisions and incidents throughout the province. Drifting and blowing snow is expected to continue throughout the day, hindering road conditions and visibility. RCMP suggest residents consider postponing travel if poor weather or road conditions exist, or are expected in your area.

Saskatchewan RCMP say there are reports of many vehicles stopped on, as well as on the side of the highway, and they have some tips for those who have to stop on the highway for any reason, including pulling over to the right shoulder if it is possible and safe. Don’t block intersections. As well always say in your vehicle. Stay warm. Periodically turn your vehicle on but be mindful to conserve your fuel and battery. Make sure your tailpipe remains clear of ice and snow, or carbon monoxide could potentially seep into your vehicle. Periodically lower your window slightly on the side of your vehicle that is downwind, allowing for fresh air to enter the vehicle.  And if you have to travel RCMP urge motorists to check the Highway Hotline.
