Winter Storm Warning for Calgary quote:

http://www.theweathernetwork.com/al...rnings_citypage



Details

A fast moving Alberta clipper is forecast to develop near Calgary tonight tracking southeastwards into Montana by Tuesday morning. Snow will develop along the northern foothills late this afternoon spreading towards the Cypress Hills overnight. Snowfall amounts along the foothills are expected to be near 10 to 15 cm. Along and north of a line from Calgary to Brooks, snowfall amounts of 10 cm are expected tonight. Heavy snow will continue into Tuesday morning in the Medicine Hat and Cypress Hills regions giving amounts of 10 to 20 cm. The heaviest snow will taper off Tuesday morning for the foothills and Tuesday afternoon over the Cypress Hills. Strong northerly winds will develop behind the clipper giving wind gusts to 70 km/h over Southern Alberta. These winds will combine with falling snow to reduce visibilities to near zero at times in blowing snow.



Get your cars ready just in case.

I picked a good week to take off work. I do not want to deal with Calgary drivers on the first snowfall.

I do have to help my cousin move starting on Wednesday though, so I hope it's not too bad. Luckily, I put on my winter tires yesterday.

1st time ever with AWD in winter. Can't wait.

But I agree that Calgary drivers are stupid. I will avoid rush hours or work from home if it gets bad.

You won't get stuck. Unless the snow is higher than the car hahaha

Luckily I commute during non rush hours so I usually miss all the traffic mayhem haha

Winter tires on my A4 and it's crazy in the snow... except I dropped it this year so I have like 3 inches of clearance.

I think I'm going to have to park it.... winter tires or not.
