Snow day????

A long period of widespread snowfall, with total amounts of 25 to 35 cm is possible Wednesday evening into Friday.

Snow is expected to move into central Alberta Wednesday. The snow will move south into Calgary by Wednesday evening and continue southward through Wednesday night towards the American border. The heaviest snow will begin late overnight Wednesday into Thursday. However, there is still uncertainty where the heaviest amounts will fall. The snow is expected to end Friday.

A winter storm watch is an alert for the potential development of severe winter weather. Persons in or near these areas should be prepared for developing adverse weather conditions and should listen for updated watches and possible warnings.

###

Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.storm.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #ABStorm.​

Heard on the news, that the hiway to gibbons has vehicles stopped/parked all along the hiway, due to the icy roads(from the freezing rain yesterday) and now the blowing snow, with zero visibility... Estimated 200 cars, just sitting on the hiway, the rcmp says

And this is why we own 4x4’s.
Of course many have no idea that 4x4 doesn’t = indestructible.
Drive with care all.
