Winter driving conditions come early in Saskatchewan
With the snow starting to hit the ground, it’s a good time to start planning for winter driving.
Snow may be possible over the Thanksgiving weekend, especially if you’re planning a long drive to visit loved ones. With the snow hitting a little earlier this year, taking precautions will prevent unwanted stops or issues on the road.
SGI’s Tyler McMurchy told paNOW that in this province, the weather can change in an instant and you have to adjust accordingly.
“We know in Saskatchewan, we might be dealing with winter conditions five months out of the year, maybe more when it starts early like this in October,” he said. “We could be dealing with a good long winter here in Saskatchewan. Along with that does present some challenges when it comes to driving. There’s reduced traction on the roads, and there is reduced visibility.”
