Plan to take your time on area roads if you'll be travelling to see friends or family this holiday weekend. 

A chance of freezing rain Saturday, followed by blowing snow and gusty winds is forecasted for most of Alberta and along the Saskatchewan border. There is a special weather statment in effect for Airdrie and surrounding areas. 

Travel in these regions will likely become difficult as freezing rain will cause untreated surfaces to become slippery. Snow and blowing snow will reduce visibility into Sunday morning.
