Thanks to some overnight rain and snow area highways are in a sad state Monday.

Town crews in Both High River and Okotoks have already sanded the major routes through the Town's, but side streets and sidewalks remain a concern because they're incredibly slick thanks to the ice on them.

Area highways are in tough shape as well.

Thanks to low temperatures on the roads, the chemicals used to melt the ice aren't being as effective as they could be, so you'll need to slow down and make sure to leave plenty of room between you and cars ahead and behind if you can because braking distance will be reduced drastically thanks to the ice.
