Rain makes for icy streets and highways this weekend

Warm weather and rain turned city streets into impromptu skating rinks this weekend.

One video shows a man skating on Warren Rd. It’s had more than 244,000 views since it was posted on Saturday.

The region’s highways were less amusing. Yesterday, Wood Buffalo RCMP issued a travel advisory for Highways 881 and 63, that lasted hours.

Several trucks and vehicles were spotted in the ditch.

This morning, listeners are reporting fair conditions on 63, both north and south of Fort McMurray.
