The City of Edmonton also took to Twitter to ask Edmontonians to limit non-essential travel while they try to keep the roads clear.

We encourage and appreciate your help by staying off the roads and limiting non-essential travel. This will help crews efficiently and safely clear roads. If you do travel, please leave a safe stopping distance & keep an eye out for pedestrians/cyclists. #yegtraffic

Most Edmontonians are likely ready for the spring weather to roll in any day now, but at least the snow makes it easier to stay inside unless absolutely necessary.

Stay safe out there!
