Environment Canada had issued a freezing rain warning for a number of areas in central Alberta on Sunday morning, warning drivers and pedestrians of roads becoming icy and slippery.
“Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas,” the weather agency said on its website. “Low-lying areas, including river valleys, are more likely to see freezing rain.”
By 12:20 p.m., all freezing rain warnings in Alberta had been lifted.
Environment Canada says it issues freezing rain warnings when “rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.” The freezing rain was expected to end Sunday afternoon.
