Area 18 Cariboo Freezing rain has glazed roads and side streets across Area 18, creating icy conditions in a short period of time. Our crews will be working around the clock and hitting side roads hard over the next 24 hours to restore traction. https://t.co/qIewvii9PE

Next 24-48 hrs. Crews will be out plowing, sanding and salting as temperatures drop and snow/ice develop. Roads can still be slippery and snow‑covered even after a plow has passed. Slow down and drive for conditions. Give plows and road crews space and never pass on the right.

We understand it feels like nothing is happening when the road is still slippery. Our operators are cycling through established routes and working within provincial standards, but this type of storm doesn’t allow for perfectly bare pavement everywhere. #winterdriving #emconbc

We know it’s hard to see value when roads are still icy. In these conditions, chemicals have limited effect and we often rely on abrasives, so it can take time before driving conditions improve, even with crews out non‑stop! #area18cariboo #driveBC #knownbeforeyougo #emcon

Our crews are out plowing, salting, and sanding right now. Please give our team space to work and drive to road conditions. Slow down and stay safe. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated! #drivesafe #knowbeforeyougo #winterready #emcon18 #cariboo #drivebc

Please be aware that our plow crew is out working during this first snowfall. We appreciate your patience as they work to clear the roads. Stay safe and drive according to the conditions. #ShiftIntoWinter #emcon #snow #DriveBC #drivesafe #knowbeforeyougo
