(Saint John Energy crews removing branches on Douglas Avenue - photo submitted)
Police are cautioning motorists to be a little more vigilant on the way home this afternoon.
The wind and rain combined with the falling leaves are making for some slick driving conditions.
R-C-M-P say the possiblity of hydroplaning is high with the water on the road -- and -- around the city some storm drains have become clogged with leaves causing mini-lakes to build up.
In addition -- Saint John Energy crews have been busy removing branches from power lines but no serious outages have been reported so far -- meantime -- NB Power is reporting some outages in the St Stephen - Fredericton - and - Woodstock areas affecting almost seven thousand customers.
