A band of heavy snow along a cold front is sweeping south through
Southern Alberta. Behind this front strong winds with gusts up to
80 km/h are creating blowing snow with near zero visibilities.
These poor visibilities are expected to last for a brief time as the
front goes through. Conditions will improve later this evening.
