Old man winter has firmly planted his foot down in the form of messy weather.

 Overnight massive wind gusts of 70km an hour brought in a low-pressure weather pattern with heavy snowfall. 

Cpl. Gina Slaney from the Airdrie RCMP hopes people will drive to the road conditions.

"We strongly suggest that if you don't need to go out to enjoy a nice snow day and if you are travelling please adjust your speeds accordingly."

Airdrie RCMP member will be responding to calls of accidents throughout the day.
