The Owen Sound Police Service is advising drivers to avoid any non-essential driving on city roads.
City road crews are working diligently to keep main routes open. Snow accumulation is making secondary roads difficult to pass.
City police has closed a section of 8th Street East, from 9th Avenue East to 28th Avenue East, due to unsafe driving conditions, resulting from blowing snow creating whiteout conditions.
Access to the hospital can be gained via 10th Street East and 16th Avenue East.
Police would like to remind motorists that it is an offence under that Highway Traffic Act to drive on a closed highway and carries a $110 fine and 3 demerit points.
