Alberta - Calgary - Environment Canada - Lloydminster - Saskatchewan - snow accumulation - snowfall warning - snowstorm - travel advisory - winter weatherGet ready for a frosty showdown as Alberta braces for up to 30 cm of snow this weekend! Here’s what you need to know before the winter wonderland lands on your driveway!
As snowflakes start to dance from the skies, Alberta is preparing for what is being touted as a significant snowfall weekend. Recently issued warnings from Environment and Climate Change Canada forecast an impressive accumulation ranging from 15 to 30 centimetres across various Alberta regions including Calgary, Cochrane, and even the snow-loving Swift Current. Residents are advised to cozy up with a cup of hot cocoa and brace themselves for a flurry of activity when they dig themselves out from under this winter wonderland!
The winter storm is set to hit southern Alberta with vigor, paving the way for challenging travel conditions. Motorists are reminded to prepare for slippery roads, as snow will begin to blanket highways and urban streets alike. Throughout the region, including the popular cities of Red Deer and Medicine Hat, snow plows will be working tirelessly to clear the path. People commuting should expect delays, as the white, fluffy stuff revitalizes the quintessential Canadian scene – but also brings a little chaos along with it.
Meanwhile, in communities such as Lethbridge and Grande Prairie, the excitement of the first major snowfall of the season is palpable, albeit with some degree of caution. Snowfall warnings have been issued to alert citizens about the snow's anticipated intensity, which may vary significantly. It's a perfect time to wax those skis and sleds, or if you're more into the comfort of your home, a great opportunity to binge-watch your favorite winter movies while the snow piles up outside. Just keep a snow shovel ready by the door, because you know you’ll need it!
As we embrace the snow, let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty of Alberta winters. Did you know that the heaviest snowfall ever recorded in Alberta occurred in April 1997, with a staggering 93.3 cm falling in a single storm? Moreover, snowflakes are like little works of art, with no two being exactly alike! So whether you’re out skiing, shoveling, or simply enjoying the view, let the snowfall warnings remind you that each snowflake has a story – just make sure you're bundled up for your very own adventure in the snow!
Happy winter, Alberta!
