Due to today's snowfall and changing road conditions across the region, please use extra caution if you're travelling and check current road conditions before heading out. A little preparation can go a long way.

Here are some reminders for safe winter driving:

• Winterize your vehicles
• Carry an emergency road kit
• Clear all snow and ice from windows, sideview mirrors, headlights, taillights, and license plates
• Buckle up and adjust head restraints
• Try to keep your vehicle’s fuel tank more than half full. This helps reduce moisture problems in your fuel system and it adds extra weight to your vehicle.
• DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY during bad weather: slow down, drive according to the road conditions, and stay off the roads during major storms.
• Visit 511.alberta.ca for current provincial highway conditions.
