The First Snow of the Season in Edmonton

The First Snow of the Season

Historically, Edmonton’s first snow equates to hundreds of drivers having accidents – and some those
collisions are very serious. Even though snow in Edmonton is a common occurrence and should come as
no surprise, the first snowfall always seems to catch drivers off guard.

Crackmasters (Edmonton West End) cares about your safety, so we’ve put together these tips.

• Give Yourself Extra Time when you see Snow in Edmonton
  It’s tempting to lie in bed on a snowy day, but that leads to rushing on the slippery roads. Hitting snooze
  one more time just isn’t worth it. When you see snow in Edmonton, leave for work early. If you arrive early then, enjoy a warm coffee or tea or take have some ‘ME’ time.

• Clear Your Windshield Properly
  The last thing you want to do on a cold winter morning is stand outside scraping your windshield, but
  you should never rely on your heaters to do the job as you drive. Compromising your visibility when
  there is snow in Edmonton is dangerous for you and other drivers. Additionally, using heat to clear your
  cold windshield can crack your auto glass.
• Read Road Reports
  Before you head out on your commute, check sites like Alberta 511 road report to see if your route is clear or
  covered in snow, and check Google Maps with the traffic overlay on to see if accidents will delay your
  commute.
• Stay Safe Out There!
  Don’t let snow in Edmonton get you down. Take care out there and arrive alive at your destination.
