It's time to "chill" out and enjoy the snow!
The Foothills region is in for a chilly Thanksgiving long weekend, with the first snowfall of the season expected to hit the area.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, rain will move into the region on Saturday morning, with a good chance of transitioning to snow by the afternoon.
- Highway 2 from Okotoks to Claresholm can expect 2-4 cm of snow
- Longview and Stavely may see up to 10 cm of snow
While the snowfall may feel early, it’s not unusual for the Foothills at this time of year. Low-pressure systems can bring cold air and decent snowfall, with the average first snowfall in the Calgary area typically occurring around this time.
The cold weather and snow are expected to be short-lived, with temperatures forecast to rebound on Monday and warm up again next week.
