As of 1 p.m. Monday all highways had been re-opened but traffic was still not recommended in the Swift Current area.
“As the snow and icy conditions continue, the Saskatchewan RCMP is reminding drivers to slow down when driving on slippery/snow-covered surfaces or with reduced visibility,” RCMP said in a news release.
