Sunday is expected to be a chilly one with a high of -13°C, and the combination of snow, sun, and low temperatures could lead to tricky driving conditions.
Edmonton Police took to Twitter today to remind drivers to be safe out there, given that EPS reported there were 111 collisions reported in a single day during last week’s snow day.
We woke up to a little bit of snow this morning #yeg. Even though we are almost two years away from the winter Olympics, it does not mean you should attempt to qualify by speed skating down our roads. Please drive with caution and slow down. #yegtraffic
