    With snow expected to fall in Calgary for most of Tuesday, city crews are clearing streets and applying materials to help with traction.

    Tuesday’s forecast called for two to four inches of snow, on top of the six inches that fell the day before, making getting around the city a challenge.

    “We expect the snowfall to actually continue until Tuesday when that snowfall finally ends, which will activate our snow watch and we’ll start working through our council-approved snow priority list – that’s basically when we’ll start working through the roads to complete it,” Chris said. McGeachy with the City of Calgary’s roads department said.

    Within 24 hours of snowfall ending, the city also clears prioritized paths, sidewalks bordering city-owned properties, pedestrian and vehicle bridges and bus stops.

    By the time 36 hours pass, city crews are plowing lanes of major community and transit routes.

    CPS acting Sgt. Steve Campbell said police responded to dozens of crashes Tuesday.

    “It’s a combination of weather and speed,” Campbell said. “People need to slow down with these roads as they are. Understand that the speed limit may say a certain speed, but (drivers) must drive with the road conditions.

    “With the extreme temperatures of minus 20, minus 25, the roads become very slippery. The material they put on the roads has no effect.”

    According to Global Calgary meteorologist Tiffany Lizee, warmer weather is on the way. Temperatures are expected to go from an overnight low of minus 20 C on Tuesday to 0 C by Wednesday afternoon.

    “Tomorrow we are going to see a very rapid warming, especially during those morning hours, thanks to westerly currents,” Lizee said. “A Chinook is going to blow in.”
