It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in central Alberta
Thousands of central Albertans became reacquainted with their shovels over the weekend following snowfall up to 15 centimetres in local areas.
Environment Canada meteorologists say a weather system took up residence over southern and central Alberta, bringing a prolonged period of snowfall to many regions, including the Edmonton metro region which saw 20-28 cm fall.
Red Deer saw 14 cm of snow over the weekend.
Elsewhere, Rocky Mountain House saw 11 cm, Calgary 10-12 cm, Cochrane 9 cm, Cold Lake 10 cm, Lloydminster 13 cm, Lethbridge totaled 8 cm, and 5-10 cm fell in the Medicine Hat area.
