If your weekend plans take you out on our highways this weekend, remember to slow down if the weather conditions turn ugly.

"I guess people aren't really used to driving in winterlike conditions so early in the year," shared Minister of Highways and Infrastructure, Lori Carr. "So I just ask everybody to take a little more time and get used to driving on that ice and be safe."

She added that passing snowplows can be dangerous.

"If you are behind one, please be patient. They stop about every 10-15 miles to let traffic go by."
