It looks like a pedestrian took a slide here on an icy sidewalk in Regina early Monday morning. Ice-covered walks were everywhere after a mild weekend, but the hazardous spots were hard to see due to a dusting of snow. (CBC)

Pedestrians might want to watch out for treacherous conditions on Saskatchewan sidewalks Monday morning. 

Ice-covered walks were reported in both Regina and Saskatoon in the pre-dawn hours — and what made it particularly hazardous was a light dusting of snow covering up the slick surfaces.

Workers on skid-steer vehicles were busy in Regina's Wascana Park at 6 a.m. CST, but there were lots of slippery spots in front of people's homes.

In Saskatoon, there's a bylaw requiring residents to clear ice and snow from their sidewalks.

A big icy patch on Regina Avenue was hidden under snow Monday morning. (CBC)
