Sault Ste. Marie Police Service would like to advise and remind motorists to please slow down and adjust your driving to the road conditions.

A lot of fresh snow did fall overnight and road conditions may be slippery, especially near intersections.

Drivers should take time to clear snow and ice from all windows, mirrors and the roof of their vehicles and are asked to wait until the fog/frost clears from the window before travelling.

Allow yourself a little extra time.
