Even though Regina has been enjoying spring-like weather, maintenance crews were ready for the winter-like conditions that hit the city Monday and Tuesday.
Tyler Bien, the manager of roadway seasonal operations for the City of Regina, says employees were more than prepared for this latest Arctic blast.
“We’re actually currently still in the winter mode so we were ready,” Bien said Tuesday. “Once the snow started falling, we switched to 24-hour coverage.

“Once the roads are returned to a normal seasonal driving condition, then we will go back to a routine maintenance type of operation.”
Fresh snowfall welcomed by Sask farmers, firefighters

Many vehicle owners in Regina reported finding this underneath their vehicles last week, only to find out they had no fluid leaks.
The City of Regina says the strange yellow/green drip many noticed under their vehicles last week has nothing to do with what they put on roadways in the winter.
Many vehicles were taken to garages around the city only to find out that there was no leak, leaving many to suspect road salt had something to do with the strange liquid.
The City’s Tyler Bien said they honestly aren’t to sure what would’ve been causing the drip.

The City of Regina is ready for treacherous conditions as an Alberta clipper continued to blow its way through the province Wednesday, wreaking havoc along the way.
Weather alerts blanketed most of the province, as Regina expected to get around five centimetres of snow along with 100-kilometre-per-hour winds Wednesday evening.
The snow mixed with furious winds also make another weather phenomenon a very real possibility; a snow squall watch was in effect for the Regina area.
Terri Lang, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says the best way to keep yourself and others safe during hazardous weather events is to just stay home.
