Winter has made a comeback in the Calgary area.
RCMP say the QEII Highway near Olds is in very poor driving condition.
Police are currently responding to reports of a 30 to 40 car pileup between Carstairs and Olds.
They are advising everyone to stay off the highway in that area.
Late Thursday afternoon hail and snow started falling in parts of Calgary.
The strong wind is threatening to knock power out and in some cases it's been successful.
Jeff McDougall says driving through the northwest was slow because the lights were out at McKnight Blvd., and Centre Street. He says police were not on scene to direct traffic which meant a long delay as drivers treated the intersection as a four-way stop.
Some communities in the northwest and northeast are reporting power outages.
The power is out at the Calgary International Airport and flights have been delayed.
One viewer tells CTV News the weather has knocked out their satellite signal in the north end of the city.
Calgary and most of Southern Alberta remains under a wind warning.
Meteorologist David Spence says the wind will continue through the night and likely into Friday morning.
