Winter roars back to Calgary with possible 30 cm of snow: ECCC

Winter is on its way back to Calgary, with snow and blowing snow expected on Monday, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Snow will start falling on Monday and blow into Tuesday, leading to around 10-20 centimetres of snow by Wednesday, a special weather statement reads.

The Canadian weather service adds that snow totals will likely vary widely from place to place, though local amounts of up to 30 cm are possible.

“Blowing snow is also expected on Tuesday over open areas in central and southern Alberta, including Highways 1, 2 and 16. Visibility will likely be poor,” the ECCC said.

Meteorologists are suggesting motorists allow extra time for travel.
