SOUTHERN ALBERTA – Non-essential travel throughout southern Alberta is not advised, as the entire region deals with a Winter Storm Warning.
– Highway 3 between Medicine Hat and Taber has been closed – as well as Highway 1 between Calgary and Bassano – due to blowing snow and what police are calling extreme winter driving conditions. A travel advisory then runs west from Taber to Fort Macleod. RCMP detachments along Hwy 3 have also noted that there have been a number of collisions and vehicles in the ditch.
– A semi has reportedly lost control near the Chin Lakes reservoir and is now blocking both the north and south-bound lanes. Taber RCMP say the road will likely be impassable for several hours.
– Raymond RCMP noted that several tractor-trailer units are lined up along Highway 4 just north of Warner, as they can’t climb the hill because of icy conditions.
