Calgary crews working to clear slippery roads of snowfall
CPS Acting Sgt. Steve Campbell said police had responded to dozens of crashes on Tuesday.
“That’s a combination of weather and speed,” Campbell said. “People need to slow down with these roads the way they are. Understand that the speed limit may say a certain speed, but have to drive with the road conditions. “With the extreme temperatures being minus 20, minus 25, make the roads very slippery. The material they’re putting on the roads is not taking any effect.”City of Calgary reopening Centre Street Bridge lower deck to vehicle traffic
According to Global Calgary meteorologist Tiffany Lizee, warmer weather is on the way. Temperatures are expected to go from an overnight low of minus 20 C on Tuesday to 0 C by midday Wednesday. “Tomorrow we’re going to see a real quick warm up especially throughout those morning hours, thanks to westerly flows,” Lizee said. “A chinook is going to blow in.”
