Regina, Saskatchewan residents faced hazardous travel conditions early Tuesday morning as freezing fog settled over the region. Environment Canada reported that visibility dropped to 0.8 kilometres at the Regina International Airport at 6:51 AM on March 3, 2026.

Even with the low visibility and a wind chill of -17°C, there are currently no official weather alerts in effect for the city. The federal weather agency typically only issues a fog advisory when visibility is expected to stay below one kilometre for at least six hours.

Weather officials also noted a 30 per cent risk of freezing drizzle throughout the morning. This moisture can create thin, slippery layers of ice on roads and sidewalks that are often difficult for drivers and pedestrians to see.

The City of Regina is following its winter maintenance policy to treat icy patches on major roads and transit routes. Families can expect Regina Public Schools buses to run as usual, as student transportation is only cancelled when the wind chill hits -45°C.

Fog patches are expected to clear up by midday as temperatures change. Drivers are encouraged to slow down, use their headlights, and leave extra space between vehicles during the morning commute.
