Saskatchewan weather: Drivers facing icy streets, ruts after freezing rain [Video]

A mixture of rain and snow hit many parts of Saskatchewan over the weekend leaving roads and sidewalks covered in ice.

David Horth, the director of communications for the Ministry of Highways said the Highway Hotline had a busy time updating given the storm and its behavior.

“This was a tricky storm. It was a very challenging time for drivers. It was a challenging time for our crews who were out there trying to treat the roads,” he told CTV News.

Saskatchewan RCMP say over a 24 hour stretch this past weekend, its officers responded to 52 weather related collisions across the province.

The service advised to drivers to slow down as the slippery conditions continue.
