Agree CM - a lot of the cities are quite similar. It’s the towns that do it for me. Nelson in BC is one of my favourites.

A snowfall warning has now been issued for Canmore - as predicted up to 15cm’s. Though only sleety rain right now and very wet. Up to 35cm forecast now further west towards Lake Louise.  

I can see parts of Calgary turning white at the moment on the webcams. It’s going to be an interesting night.

Nothing to really shout about - accumulation isn’t much due to the wet evening/overnight and warmish temps. Certainly not the usual powder snow in winter. About 3/4 cm’s.

I can’t see it getting anywhere close to 10cm’s let alone 15cm’s, as forecast, as it looks like it’s moving out already on the radar for these parts. I may be proved wrong if it peps up again.

We ended up with a few cms here, a little more than there was down nearer the city centre. Looks lovely but it was very slushy and wet snow, very non-Canadian apparently:

It reminded me of a typical April/May snowstorm. Had it been drier I think we could have got some decent accumulation but most of it was definitely lost in the early stages to melt.

Kind of glad it didn’t get much colder as many years on a storm that starts wet, it’s frozen solid under the snow and remained icy throughout the winter.

Colder temps setting in for a while but looks like warming up next week. Round 2 in a week or so?

Winter is certainly setting in for you up there.

I’m thinking this might be a familiar theme during the winter. The cold held up in mid Alberta whilst the storm track comes through southern Alberta bringing periodic warm ups.

That's one of the advantages of Calgary over Edmonton in winter...it doesn't often stay very cold for long periods of time as it can here

Very true - I think we usually get a week a year of extremely cold weather in the mountains . The rest of the time anything from 10oC down to mid minus 20’s. Not too often below that.

That would make me thoroughly miserable. It’s bad enough when it’s for a few days.

Lovely sunny day here ☀️ 

Between now and Monday up to 60 hours of light snow forecast on and off in Calgary but with close to nil accumulation . Wind chill might be an issue with strong northerly winds.

The polar vortex even gets a mention in this article...

Saturday's low in Calgary and Sunday's high fall well below averages.

Edmonton remains in the freezer whilst Canmore joins the warm up next week.

We've had a pretty decent dusting towards a covering here today so far from the ongoing snizzard. The roads are icy as anything, even the motorway is looking pretty white.

I like that weather guy, it's nice to watch TV forecasts and actually get a wee bit of decent weather chat.

That’s a good dusting from effectively not a lot. I was surprised when he mentioned little accumulation. Even with the lightest snow it’ll add up a bit. 

I agree. I find the forecasts are much more entertaining and info packed

So much for the sun coming through this afternoon. The snizzard has continued for hours, it's very localised as two miles up the road it was cold & cloudy but the roads were still clear. Not so clear near home, we've had enough fresh snow that folk are out clearing it again, getting on for 2cm:

Snowstorm forecast and receive a few cm’s. No snow forecast and receive the same lol. Just shows it doesn’t matter which country you’re in...they’ll never always get it right lol. 

Chilly start to the day. Minus 14 but windchill closer to minus 20.

Another lovely, crisp sunny day.

The snow machines are going at the Nordic centre for the cross country ski track E47C4A6D-AEE4-4299-8CCC-B61CA7D90F3C.thumb.jpeg.7dc221ce2d068c36d4bf92c14c580add.jpeg

I see Canada/America still cannot do a TAF with any brevity in it!

Much warmer today. Minus 4oC and sunny.

Looking like highs around or just above freezing for the rest of the week with a little snow, nothing significant and then another cool down by the end of the weekend.

I thought the GFS and ECM looked a little snowy during the week, at least for areas slightly west and south-west from Calgary?

Yeah I think as the system comes through most precip/moisture will die out over the BC Rockies.

I think the snow in the western sections might be from some slight upsloping as the winds turn for a bit. 

I may have read it totally wrong but that’s my initials thoughts. 

Incidentally our deepest snows in Canmore have always come from up-sloping. One storm set in for a day and half with a keen easterly and some spots got close to 3 feet. 

Another time we had 5 inches of snow in 90 mins. 

You can’t beat extreme winter weather IMO

Currently 5C/-9C and no doubt that a gentle Chinook is to blame as this was sunrise earlier:

20201216_082124.thumb.jpg.0126d719af6cfd13b225324ebf8b2f39.jpg

It certainly is. Change is afoot again tomorrow though as winds looking like swinging round to the north by tomorrow afternoon in Calgary. Chance of some snow. Windy as well and temps, though warm at first, look to be taking a quick tumble during the afternoon.

Strangely it looks very short-lived though after a cool night - sunshine returning and warming up again Friday and maybe even double figures by the weekend. 

In Canmore they’re saying chance of snow over next 2/3 days. We’ll see

Some early morning figures from NY:

12:05 am: 6.5" of snow and sleet as of midnight at Central Park, NY. 

Snow accumulations for the city are expected to be in the 6 to 10-inch range by the time the storm moves out Thursday morning near 9 a.m.; the western New Jersey suburbs and upstate New York will see 12 to 18 inches, eastern Long Island will be in the 3 to 6-inch range, and southern New Jersey will see about 2 to 4 inches.
