The rain has created very icy and slippery conditions in the province, creating problems for highway crews and local fire departments. On Highway 11, fire crews in Osler and Hague were seen helping vehicles out of the ditch and laying salt on the roads in an effort to make things a bit safer.

According to Highway Hotline as of 9:40am, travel is not recommended in parts of the province including in the Melfort and Nipawin areas due to the wet and icy conditions.

The travel not recommended status has since been lifted in the North Battleford and Meadow Lake areas, but roads and highways remain wet and are subject to freezing.
