There have been multiple reports of cars in the ditch between Kindersley and Netherhill. Conditions have started to get better for some of the roads north around Rosetown and Biggar, and south of Rosetown as well. Caution should still be exercised as temperatures drop into this evening.

Anyone travelling for Easter might want to for wait for better conditions. Check the Highway Hotline for updated information.
