OT: 2018 Weather Thread

[McShogun99]

Freezing rain last night around 10pm. Sidewalks and side roads this am are a joke. Main roads OK. But just getting out of a neighborhood or trying to walk not so great.

Advisory to stay home if you can today.

Lots of jackknifed trucks, vehicles off road.

East end of the City, Sherwood Park, and outlying highways particularly impacted as that's where most of the freezing rain event occurred.

Don't even try Edmonton -Nisku.

stay safe

I was driving last night on the Henday between Sherwood Park and Edmonton and almost slid into a jackknifed semi in the middle of the road. Had to turn on my blinkers and drive 20 km/h the rest of the way. It was pretty much like driving on a skating rink. This morning I was back on the road at 6am and the roads are much better now.
