UPDATE:

The scene is now clear.

ORIGINAL:

Traffic is severely backed-up due to a stranded semi just north of Balzac.

Currently, the northbound right-hand lane is blocked off.

Traffic is being reported to be backed up all the way to Stoney Trail.

Crews are on the scene.

Blowing snow is sticking to the QEII in both directions so please be careful.
