It was a sloppy, snowy start to the work week in southern Saskatchewan.

A slushy coating of snow hampered the commute on roads around the region, including on Highway 11, where a crash involving a semi-trailer near Kenaston brought southbound traffic to a standstill Monday morning.

A snow plow also got stuck in the ditch on Highway 11 near Regina.

Environment Canada says five to 10 centimetres of snow blanketed the region Monday.

The slow-moving system was expected to continue to affect much of southern Saskatchewan over the next 12 to 24 hours with a mix of rain and snow mix expected to continue in many areas into the evening.
