The Freezing Rain Warning issued for the west central region is causing slippery roads as of early Tuesday afternoon.

Highway 7 from Delisle to Kindersley is reporting travel not recommended at this time due to the freezing rain.

Highway 21 from Glidden to Kerrobert is also reporting TNR, and so is Highway 44 from Eston to Eatonia. 

The freezing rain is expected to turn to snow later on today, making the roadways even more treacherous.

So, if you don't have to travel anywhere today, it may be best to stay where you are at and relax, and maybe head out Wednesday.
