Maple Creek,SK. – The system that brought rain to our area overnight has moved eastward and there’s some impact on travel.
At 7:30 am CST, Saskatchewan’s highway hotline shows the Trans Canada highway has winter driving conditions from the Alberta border east to Maple Creek, with slush and heavy snow from Maple Creek to Piapot.
Winter conditions also exist from Maple Creek south towards the Cypress Hills provincial park.
In Alberta, 5-1-1 shows the 41 North from the Golden Prairie Road to Oyen as snow covered. The 41 south from Elkwater to the U.S. border is also snow covered.
Clearing is in the forecast today.
Update as of 10:45 am CST
Travel is not being recommended between Gull Lake and Swift Current this morning.
Saskatchewan’s highway hotline says that section of the highway is subject to icing, with swirling and drifting snow.
Conditions from Alberta to Maple Creek are shown as winter driving conditions but the road is wet and subject to freezing. Further east towards Gull Lake, conditions deteriorate, with icy and slushy sections and heavy snow.
Travel north from Maple Creek to Fox Valley – and south towards the Cypress Hills is also subject to icy and slush sections with heavy snow.
Update as of 11:30 am CST
