Sometimes winter just won’t quit.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for several communities in the Grande Prairie area.
The communities of Grande Prairie, Beaverlodge, Valleyview, Fox Creek, Edson, and parts of Woodlands County can expect significant snowfall, hindering travel conditions from Wednesday night through to Friday across central Alberta.
Officials suggest heavy, wet snow will begin to fall on Wednesday evening over parts of west-central Alberta, including Grande Prairie, down to Whitecourt.
On Thursday morning, it is expected that snow will intensify across central Alberta, including the Edmonton area.
Snowfall amounts on Friday are expected to reach as high as 20 centimetres by the morning, with higher accumulations of up to 25 centimetres possible near the Rockies and the Grande Prairie area.
Still, officials maintain that the warm temperatures at the beginning of the week, combined with uncertainty about how fast the snow will fall, confidence in total snowfall accumulations is “moderate.”
