The sudden blast of wind and snow today (October 2nd) made for treacherous condition on roads, even closing busy highways.

Highway 1 east of Calgary towards Bassano was closed due to the winter conditions and poor visibility.

The same was true for Highway 3 from the town of Taber to Medicine Hat.

Earlier today, RCMP in Beiseker advised drivers to avoid Highway 9 between the Village and the town of Drumheller due to slippery conditions.
