Heavy Snow Hitting Calgary, Central Alberta; Easter Travel Alert

0:00Environment Canada just dropped a special weather statement for Calgary and a big chunk of central Alberta, warning of 15 to 20 centimeters. Of snow hitting from overnight Wednesday through Thursday evening, the storm is going to slam areas from north of Fort McLeod up to Pinocca and from Canmore over to Drumheller with highways 2 and 1 west of Calgary, facing the worst of it. Heavy snow at times, low visibility and slick roads. Tourists, take a slow out there, temps near freezing mean tricky driving, so build in extra time if you're traveling before the Easter long weekend. Edmonton dodges the heaviest, but expect 2 to 4 centimeters overnight, Wednesday plus up to 4 more Thursday with Flurry's trailing north, toward White Court and Peace River. By Friday morning, things clear up fast. Mid to high single digits, temps melt that's no quick, setting up smooth roads for the holiday getaway. Local news, powered by AI. Ivis is Canada News Today.
