Residents in Sherwood Park, Alberta, should prepare for winter driving conditions as periods of snow are expected throughout the day on Thursday, March 12, 2026. Environment Canada is forecasting snow and cooler temperatures that could affect both the morning and evening commutes.
The weather forecast includes a daytime high of -6°C, with snow continuing into the night as the temperature drops to a low of -15°C. These conditions are expected to create slick surfaces on local roads and highways throughout the community.
To help manage the weather, Strathcona County uses a priority system to clear snow and ice from public streets. This process focuses on clearing the busiest roads first to keep traffic moving safely during winter weather events.
The county may also put parking bans into effect during major snow clearing work. Moving vehicles off the street during these times helps crews clear the roads more quickly and thoroughly for all residents.
