Snow and wind continue to batter our area this afternoon and road conditions continue to worsen. According to 511 Alberta, most roadways in the area around Vegreville are either covered or partly covered in snow and ice with reduced visibility due to blowing snow. The conditions are expected to last into the evening hours before tapering off overnight. Blizzard conditions and winds reaching 90 km/h are expected around the Saskatchewan border.
