Just came back from Edmonton. Left there at 8:30PM, filled up at Costco by the airport, had practically no visibility from YEG to Red Deer and very slushy. From RD to Calgary, mostly black ice and can feel my car sliding a bit at one point. I slowed down and tried not to change lanes unless I had to.
Average speed was 80 km/h and took 4 hours to travel 300 km for this trip. Saw 5-6 cars in the ditch along the way and another 5 vehicles on Deerfoot alone from the perimeter to the Memorial. Almost new Michelin winter tires, AWD, and slowing down helped to come home safely tonight. Be careful in the morning, everyone.
