AS we approach Christmas season I know a lot of people drive, and maybe even from out of city to spend time with friends and family through Christmas season.

But roads are really bad, and RCMP have ordered tow bans on multiple highways including the main highway, QEII Yellowhead was also a disaster area yesterday west of Edmonton. Cars, trucks, semis off road everywhere or in accidents.

Snowy roads in the Edmonton region, RCMP issue tow ban on QEII - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca

The slow gradual accumulation of snow we have been seeing for now days of near constant precipitation is creating gloss conditions few drivers are familiar with. By all means if you can stay home, stay home. Even city streets are a nightmare out there.

Have to mention as well the brutal cold snap approaching. Highway closures are imminent this weekend with these conditions, and if you are on the highway you could be stuck on closed or impassable highways and with stop orders on towing in place.

just figured some advisory needs to be here, and as many people as possible alerted.
