Black ice on area roads caught some drivers by surprise on Wednesday morning.
Police were kept busy attending calls of minor collisions and vehicles sliding off the road along both highway routes through the city and along Foothills Boulevard, Prince George RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass said.
With the morning temperature forecast to continue to hover around the freezing point, black ice should continue to be a problem for the next few days, Douglass advised.
"Drivers need to be extra cautious and take extra time to get where they're going because black ice is called that for a reason," he said. "It's not easily seen and if today is any indication we expect more vehicles to be in the ditch."
It's a matter of driving to conditions.
"If you feel the road being a little slippery, just slow down and in a city of our size, to get from one side to the other you're probably slowing yourself down a minute," Douglass said. "If you're already late, an extra minute isn't going to be detrimental and just leaving one or two minutes early and driving slowly is even better."
Daytime highs are forecast to drop back below zero by Sunday, with a mix of sun and cloud with no snow through to at least Wednesday, according to Environment Canada.
