Snow and wind takes hold in Calgary

Posted Oct 23, 2026 12:27 pm.

The morning commute was greeted with slick roads and gusty winds as snow returned to Calgary Friday.

Snow accumulated on the ground early, as the temperature hovered around zero and Environment Canada forecasts about 2 centimetres over the course of the morning.

While the inclement weather is short lived with the sun showing in the afternoon, gusting winds will buffet Calgarians into the evening.

Add in a low of -4 C expected, wind chill will factor in once more. It’s expected to feel like -10 overnight into Saturday morning.

Saturday’s high is anticipated to be 2 C, and is a similar weather trend expected for the coming week.
