Just got into town from Edmonton - it's not too bad. I left at 9:30 AM, Edmonton - Red Deer was pretty good. From Red Deer to Calgary, visibility got continually worse, but nothing that was too crazy for me.
As for the roads themselves, the wind has blown all the snow off so traction was pretty good. There was one stretch south of airdrie (near cross iron mills) that was pretty slippery, but the rest of the QE2 was bare and pretty good.
I drive a mazda sedan with winter tires. Took me about 4 hours driving cautiously, i was doing between 90-100 the whole way.
