The first big dump of snow of the season is snarling traffic on streets and highways in central and southern Alberta.Monday morning, Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a snowfall warning, saying 10 to 15 centimetres of the white stuff was expected to fall in a stretch of central and southern Alberta that reaches from the Rocky Mountains to Saskatchewan, from just south of Edmonton to Claresholm and Medicine Hat.
Last week, the city said it would pay extra attention to allowing greater accessibility and mobility of all types in this year’s snow plan. RCMP said stretches of the QEII Highway between Red Deer and Calgary had poor driving conditions on Monday, with more than 18 collisions experienced that morning.Authorities advised drivers to drive to the conditions of the road or to avoid driving because of the inclement weather.Rare June snowfall warning in the Rocky Mountains, Marmot Basin shares snow photos
Having appropriate tires on your vehicle helps keep you safe as well as everyone else on the road, according to Bret Morley, a Calgary Kal Tire manager.“Having the right tires on or at least the mountain peak-snowflake tires is going to make sure that the roads are safe, not only for the person driving that vehicle, but the others on the road as well. So we think it’s vitally important,” Morley said.
