Melting snow coupled with freezing ground temperatures today, creating slippery road conditions around the region for the drive into work.
Police are also warning motorists to keep an eye on the road throughout the remainder of the day.
“We have a lot of slippery areas,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Scott Warnica. “It rained for a portion of the night. The rain came down on frozen roads and there are certain sections of certain roads where there is black ice.”
Salt trucks are out.
RCMP reported at least a half dozen accidents in the Sackville and Enfield areas this morning.
Both RCMP and Halifax Regional Police are urging drivers to be cautious, give themselves extra time and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
