On Friday, police said road conditions were posing significant hazards across the province, including in central Alberta.
According to Alberta 511, several highways throughout the region are either completely or partly covered in snow with icy sections.
On Friday afternoon, parts of Edmonton had already received more than 20 cm of snow, according to unofficial city reports.
