The City of Saskatoon says its snow clearing crews are ready.

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a snowfall warning for 10 to 15 centimetres.

The City says their crews as well as contractors hired for the job are ready to respond to the heavy snowfall which is expected to move into Saskatoon overnight and continue through to the afternoon of Christmas Day

They will be focusing on grading the driving lanes along Circle Drive and the busiest freeway and arterial streets during the storm. When it stops snowing and Priority 1 streets have all been graded, crews will move into the Priority 2 and 3 streets. Sanders will be spreading de-icing materials on Circle Drive, freeways, high traffic streets, bridge decks and intersections.

Visibility may be challenging during the storm, which will also include wind gusts of up to 60 kilometres per hour at times. Motorists are asked to watch for the blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.
