Ottawa Police Services are reminding drivers to be extra careful with precipitation and temperatures hovering around the freezing mark forecast for the week.
“I’ve been out driving myself today and it is slippery,” said Staff Sgt Brad Hampson Sunday morning.
He reminds everyone to give cars a little of extra distance, slow down and be mindful of driving for the weather and road conditions.
“We just want everyone to pay attention, given we’re expecting the first snowfall of the season,” he said. “It always takes time to adjust.”
