Police said if you do venture out, clear off your vehicle, turn your lights on, adjust your speed and give yourself plenty of stopping distance.

“The roads are snow covered and slippery at this time,” the advisory concluded.

One collision reported to us was on Hwy 2 near Shubenacadie and police were on scene turning vehicles around.
