Get your shovels ready because it appears you’ll need it in a big way this weekend.

A snowfall warning has been issued for Red Deer and surrounding areas.

Environment Canada says a Pacific weather system will move though the province starting tonight in southern Alberta before tapering off Saturday night.

Snowfall totals are expected to reach near 20 centimetres.

Over southeastern portions of Alberta, blowing snow over exposed areas may also reduce visibilities at times.
