Regions affected by the warning include Highway 93, Lake Louise and the Saskatchewan River Crossing.

“Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations,” Environment Canada said, recommending that drivers carry an emergency kit with water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.

“If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for taillights ahead and be prepared to stop.”
