Snowfall Warning Issued for Prince Albert

Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Prince Albert beginning Tuesday afternoon and continuing through Wednesday night.

Total snowfall amounts of 25–35 cm are expected to accumulate during this period. Heavy snowfall and reduced visibility may create hazardous driving conditions. Residents are advised to avoid non-essential travel and to allow extra time for commutes.

Snow Clearing Plan

The City of Prince Albert’s Snow Operations Team will begin clearing designated emergency routes as snowfall intensifies. Crews may need to repeatedly clear these priority streets throughout the duration of the storm to maintain safe access for emergency services. Reported residential issues will be addressed once emergency routes are manageable and weather conditions improve.

Snow Route Parking Ban

Snowfall will be monitored overnight, and there is a strong possibility that a Snow Route Parking Ban may be declared at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, Feb 18. Residents can subscribe to parking ban text and email notifications at citypa.ca/subscribe  (select Snow Route Parking Ban).
