Howdy guys 
This is what spring looks like here. Good thing I am headed out on a road trip at 4 AM tomorrow. May need the winch
Have a good day!
From the weathernetwork:
Not even a week after a series of storms hit the region and another late winter blast is on the way.
"An Alberta Clipper developing over the Rockies is going to bring very strong winds and blowing snow to parts of Alberta Wednesday night," warns Monica Vaswani, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. "The storm will then push south into southern Saskatchewan overnight and into Thursday, before finally starting to move south into Montana and the Dakotas."
According to Vaswani, prolonged periods of freezing rain and blowing snow are the main threats with this system.
Winter storm watches and warnings have been issued for parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Blowing snow and reduced visibility expected
"The winds will strengthen as the day progresses Wednesday, with gusts ranging from 60-80 km/h by the late afternoon and evening hours," says Vaswani. "Freezing rain will also develop in time for the late evening commute (after 7 pm) in a line from Edmonton through Kindersley and Swift Current."
North and east of this line through Saskatoon and pushing into Regina, snow will persist with very strong winds and blowing snow.
"The system will start to ramp up during the evening commute, so conditions could deteriorate very quickly and will then worsen for the late evening and overnight," adds Vaswani.
Motorists are urged to adjust their driving habits accordingly with poor visibility, slippery roads and hazardous conditions expected.
