Alberta RCMP are reminding drivers to use caution when hitting the roads this weekend.

RCMP say with increased snowfall across the province and temperatures dropping, the roadways will be affected.

According to RCMP, winter driving can be a white-knuckle ride. Snow, ice and long, dark nights all pose challenges to those behind the wheel. Whether you operate a car, truck or snowmobile, winter driving requires special attention, say Alberta Mounties.

Police urge motorists to be prepared and use caution when snow covers the roads. RCMP remind motorists to check Alberta 511 before travelling for roadway updates.
