If you are driving today, you'll want to take it easy to avoid an accident either with another vehicle or end up in the ditch by yourself! Temperatures have been falling and the roads have become very slippery with lots of black ice. There have been snow squalls on and off along the 103 between Barrington and Yarmouth making visibility there poor. RCMP Sgt. Alain Leblanc is warning motorists to adjust their driving accordingly today all along the South Shore.
Crews have been out salting and sanding along all South Shore highways this morning but thats no insurance policy the ice is gone.

If you are driving this morning, you'll want to take it easy! Temperatures are falling after reaching 8 degrees at one point during the night. With the dropping temperatures, the roads are becoming slippery with reports of black ice. There are snow squalls along Highway 103 between Barrington and Yarmouth making visibility there poor by times. Crews are out salting and sanding along all South Shore highways this morning but do ... slow down! Meanwhile, what a mess in HRM this morning! Traffic is at an almost standstill as drivers deal with roads that have turned into skating rinks because of the falling temperature. All the major routes into the city are backed up several kilometers. The bridges are packed and very little is moving. Crews are trying to get the streets salted down but its difficult with all those cars in the way. If you are heading into the city this morning, be advised its going to be a slow trip once you get to Bayers Lake.
