It’s sure been a snowy start to the work week for Calgary, but there is a fun way to track the road conditions for your commute to work with a neat map of snow plows and graders.
You can track the progress of snow removal on streets around the city, including the statuses of priority 1 and 2 roads, on a real-time map here.
A snowfall warning remains in place for Calgary and Environment and Climate Change Canada says localized amounts of 10 to 15 cm of snow are expected, with snow set to ease as the day goes on.
The best part is seeing some of the hilarious snow plow names on the streets right now.
City of Calgary
From “Snowbegone Kenobi” and “Sled Zeppelin” to “The Plowtypus,” it seems there is no shortage of ways to play on words relating to snow, and the City has nabbed every advantage to get creative.
The map is also practical and colour-coded to help you see which roads have been cleared most recently.
What’s your favourite snow plow name? Do you have any better suggestions for the City? Let us know in the comments!
