As road conditions improve, the city is gearing up for a rush of weekend winter warriors. Whether you plan to hit the ski slopes or just sip hot chocolate while watching the snow fall from the comfort of your home, vigilance is key.

The light snowfall might be calming to the senses, but it’s also a sharp reminder that we are deep in the heart of winter. If you’re looking for activities, why not embrace the snow and build the best snowman in the neighborhood?

Just ensure your snowballs are soft to avoid any unexpected scratches!

With all this snow talk, it’s important to keep an eye on the forecast and prepare for whatever Mother Nature has in store. Remember, the joys of winter come with slight risks, so zip up that jacket and head out with care. After all, a good winter adventure is just a frosty day away!

Did you know that Edmonton experiences an average of 124 snowy days per year? That's some impressive dedication to all things cold! And for the history buffs, back in 1989, Edmonton set its record with a whopping 90 cm of snow falling throughout the winter season. So while you prepare for this weekend's weather, just think of how you’re contributing to Edmonton's snowy legacy!
