Special Weather Statements, and Snowfall Warnings, and Winter Storm Warnings. Oh My! 😮

Our incoming system has resulted in a variety of different weather alerts being issued across the province by Environment Canada. Some of these alerts have already been cancelled or replaced throughout the morning so we're going to share the latest look at the situation, as of 12pm.

We have two large Special Weather Statements currently in effect. The first one stretches across a majority of Northern Alberta to the north of Slave Lake. This details explain that 10-20cm of snow is expected by Wednesday, with local amounts up to 30cm.

The southern Special Weather Statement varies slightly over its coverage area, advising that 5-15cm or 10-20cm of snow is expected. The 5-15cm range is for areas closer to the American border while the 10-20cm range expands northward. The Statement also mentions that blowing snow is expected on Tuesday over open areas.

The Snowfall Warning covers the southern areas of Northern Alberta (from Slave Lake southward) and parts of Central Alberta, including Edmonton. This Warning is for heavy snow with accumulations of varying from 10-20cm in the west to 15-25cm, with up to 30cm locally, in the east.

The Winter Storm Warning stretches northward from Calgary to Red Deer and expands eastward to the Saskatchewan border. This Warning states that heavy snow with accumulations of 15-30cm are likely, with local amounts possibly reaching 40cm. Blowing snow will also be a concern here due to 60km/h wind gusts, which has prompted a marginally stronger warning than just a Snowfall Warning.

We hope this helps some of the confusion surrounding who has what kind of alert in place ahead of the storm that will start to pick up later this afternoon and into the evening.

Plowing the park path in preparation for the fireworks 🎆

12/24/2025

‘Twas the night before plowing, and all through the yard,
The plows sat in silence, their engines on guard.
The sand piles were ready, the spreaders aligned,
For winter’s big challenge was soon to unwind.

The forecast had promised a blizzard with might,
So crews donned their gear in the cold of the night.
With coffee in thermos and radios near,
They waited for snowflakes to finally appear.

Then out on the road there arose such a sight,
A blanket of white in the glow of moonlight!
Away to their trucks they flew in a dash,
To battle the storm with a rumble and splash.

The blades cut the drifts with a thunderous cheer,
Clearing the roads for all to steer clear.
Salt sprinkled like magic to melt icy glaze,
While plow lights were dancing in shimmering rays.

Through cul-de-sacs, roadways, and long rural lanes,
They worked without rest through fatigue and the strains.
For safety’s their mission, their pride never small,
They answer the call for the good of us all.

So here’s to the plow crews, old and new
Who conquer the snow so you can get through.
May warm meals await you and roads stay clear,
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

Parkland County crews are fully prepared for the anticipated snowfall today/this evening. If you’re travelling for the holidays, please slow down and drive to conditions. Want to know which roads get cleared first? Visit www.parklandcounty.com/snowremoval for snow clearing priorities.

Here are some helpful tips when clearing your driveway in Parkland County.
Or hire us and we can take of your rural driveway for you.

Q: I noticed that when the grader cleared the road there was a snow ridge left behind, will the County come and remove it?

A: Great question! When our graders clear the roads, a snow ridge can sometimes be left behind. Under the current snow removal policy, residents are responsible for clearing these ridges from their driveways.

We know this can be a challenge, so we’ve put together some helpful tips to make it easier to reduce the size of the ridge. Check them out at www.parklandcounty.com/snowremoval

Our washed rock, washed silver sand and decorative rocks really came together in this gorgeous landscape design project by TLC Shop Inc https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075088110437

07/20/2025

Riding Arena Washed Silver Sand 11yards (24000lbs) $450 including delivery in most of Parkland County and some of Lac St. Anne. $575 for 15yards in our bigger truck. We can deliver further but there will be an added surcharge to cover fuel and time.

Our silver sand will not harden and will stay moveable unless mixed with the subsoil or old poor quality sand. Amazing moisture retention to significantly reduce any possible dust. Atlantic Equestrian on Highway 43, River View Stables just off 770, 3 Painted Ponies, and Remuda Ranch on Highway 22 all utilize our sand along with many other private arenas.

This is a washed manufactured sand put through 1mm screens so it cannot grow any weeds as all organic materials have been washed away. Plus it is very consistent for sizing. Ultra fines have also been washed out of this material to avoid dust problems. Being manufactured sand means it is made from larger rocks being crushed this is why it has great holding strength for the horse’s traction and is not slippery like natural sand that has eroded into tiny marbles over thousands of years. Due to having no silica or other sticky materials like clay it will never pack solid.

This sand is also great for private beaches and playgrounds.

We can also calculate volume require if you give us the dimensions and thickness you desire.

We have many other products available in 12 ton and 16.5 ton loads:

$425 for 12 tons of 3/4”(20mm), 40mm(1.5”), and 80mm(3”) engineered road crush gravel $560 for 16.5tons
$495 12tons of 10mm crushed rock (virtually no sand) or $650 for 16.5tons

Payments we take E-transfer, cash and credit cards. Credit Cards will be charged a 1.5% fee though.

We are based in Parkland County and have been helping local residents for over 21yrs.

3/4"(20mm) road crush $425 for 12 tons (24,000lbs) or $560 for 16.5 tons (33,000lbs). This includes delivery to most of Parkland County and some of Lac St. Anne County. We can deliver further but there will be an additional surcharge.

This is engineered road crush, which means that it is put through a series of machines to produce a specific and consistent mixture. The machines both crush the rock and mix it with specific percentages of other materials to create a mixture that packs solid for construction of roads and building bases. A proper engineered mix must have small and large particles to fill every void to create an impermeable layer when packed tight. Any air pockets would allow water to pe*****te and cause the sub soil to get wet and soft. This is generally how deep ruts form in your driveway.

Some pits will do a rough mixture to get an ok result. Our product is compaction tested on a regular basis by a third party to ensure it meets road construction specifications for the City of Edmonton and Parkland County.

Be aware Lac St. Anne has road bans on paved roads that are none highway all year long. We work with the county offices to attain road allowance permits for no extra charge.

We also offer other aggregates including:

Riding Arena Silver Sand
11 yards $450, 15 yards $575

20mm(3/4”), 40mm(1.5”), and 80mm(3”) road crush
12 tons $425, 16.5 tons $560
