Snow, freezing rain hitting much of Canada causing crashes, road closures

On Friday, March 28, 2025, much of Canada was impacted by heavy snow and freezing rain, turning roads into hazardous conditions.
Despite the official start of spring about a week prior, an 'Alberta Clipper' brought blizzard conditions and a return of winter weather.
In Alberta, Mounties responded to 147 crashes and urged drivers to clear mirrors and turn on lights, while Edmonton saw bumper-to-bumper traffic and a person shoveling heavy snowfall.
Environment Canada is predicting up to 30 centimetres of snow and possible power outages from Edmonton to the shores of Lake Ontario, while Dallas Mayer of Days Inn by Wyndham noted the nerve-wracking travel conditions.
Across the affected regions, some schools were shuttered and highways closed in Manitoba, graders cleared snowdrifts in Saskatchewan with warnings of icy bridges, and Ontario police advised against unnecessary travel due to expected freezing rain until Sunday, potentially leading to widespread power outages.
