A fog advisory is in place for Calgary and parts of southern Alberta and the fog and freezing drizzle are impacting driving conditions on some area roads and highways.
Environment Canada issued a Fog Advisory for Calgary and surrounding areas on Wednesday morning and visibility is close to zero in some areas.
CTV Calgary Meteorologist Kevin Stanfield says the temperatures will cool off dramatically over the next few days and freezing fog in the morning could make sidewalks and streets slick.
Freezing drizzle is adding a layer of ice to some roads and 511 Alberta says the fog is impacting several areas in central and southern Alberta.
Motorists are being advised to drive to the conditions with their lights on.
