Saskatchewan’s latest blast of winter has led the City of Regina to declare its snow routes, while travel on both highways and in the air remain heavily affected by the wintery conditions.
The city announced snow routes were in effect just after 12 p.m. on Sunday. When the measures are in place, no on-street parking is allowed for 24 hours on the identified routes.
Snow routes are marked with blue signs featuring a white snowflake. A complete map of the affected streets are found here.
The 24-hour snow route period is set to begin at 6 a.m. on Monday.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has said the storm is the result of a low-pressure system approaching the Dakotas in the Midwestern U.S.
The federal weather service issued a winter storm warning for a large swath of the province early Sunday morning.
The affected area includes the vast majority of southern and central Saskatchewan — excluding regions in the far west like Maple Creek, Swift Current and Kerrobert.
