Severe Winter Weather Hits Alberta with Heavy Snow and Winds

Post by : Mina Rahman

Alberta is bracing for a significant winter weather event on Monday, impacting both the northern and southern regions. Authorities have issued warnings about heavy snowfall, powerful winds, and hazardous conditions that may severely disrupt travel plans.

Northern Alberta

In the Peace Region north of Edmonton, including Grande Prairie and Athabasca, 15 to 30 centimetres of snow is anticipated. This snowfall is expected to persist throughout Monday with only sporadic breaks. Residents must prepare for slick roads and reduced visibility.

Southern Alberta

Areas such as Red Deer and Medicine Hat are under a winter storm watch, facing threats of heavy rain, flurries, and strong winds through Tuesday. Authorities stress the necessity of delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.

Rocky Mountains

Extreme winds gusting up to 100 km/h will impact the Rockies, especially from Banff extending to the Montana border. Outdoor activities may become hazardous, and motorists should remain vigilant for rapid changes in weather.

With winter conditions worsening, residents throughout Alberta are urged to stay updated, exercise caution, and refrain from unnecessary travel until the storm subsides.
