Windsor District RCMP would like to remind the traveling public to be aware of temperature changes. It has been a beautiful fall, but as we know, the night-time temperatures can drop to frost levels.

This could affect the road surfaces especially in the early morning hours. We will soon be getting into the "black ice" season once again. Please keep this in mind and drive safe.
