Fog Turns to Snowfall in Calgary
Calgary’s foggy Friday morning transformed into a snowy one, though the change isn’t expected to last long. By around 8:30 a.m., snow began falling in the downtown area as flakes moved from the north toward the south.
Earlier in the day, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) had issued a fog advisory warning of poor visibility and a chance of snow or freezing rain.
“Precipitation was in the forecast for the morning hours, but our temperature stayed just cool enough to keep most of that mix as snow. Once it’s gone, it’s pretty much gone, and as we enter the 9 o’clock hour, we can expect most of that to fully back away,”
Meteorologist Kevin Stanfield from 660 NewsRadio added that daytime highs were expected to reach 3°C, allowing much of the fresh snow to melt quickly.
- Snow began around 8:30 a.m. in downtown Calgary.
- Fog advisory issued due to low visibility and freezing rain risk.
- Temperatures hovering near freezing kept the mix mostly snow.
