It was a very cold start to the day (-18) but the sky was sunny, bright blue and cloudless. There was no wind, so it didn't feel as cold as it has done for the last few days. Even at 8.30am it felt warm in the sun.
By lunchtime the temperature had raised to -4 and the sun was very strong. The snow and ice was melting fast.

It had snowed very lightly again overnight but there was hardly any on the ground so the roads were clear. It was very cold this morning(-24.0) and only predicted to warm up to -17 with a wind chill of around -29. The sky was thick cloud this morning, but the sun was beginning to break through by around 9am. Like yesterday, it feels bitterly cold today.
We saw a car dealership taking a novel approach to removing snow from its vehicles this morning. They were using a leaf blower to blow the snow off - ingenious!

The sky was white, with no sun and it was considerably colder than it has been over the past few days. The road to High River wasn't bad, but there were reports of a few collisions and cars sliding off the road in and around Calgary. It snowed lightly but consistently until early afternoon, when the sun managed to come out for a while and remained bright into the evening.
There was a Snowfall warning today for Okotoks, High River, Claresholm: around 10-15 cm of snow expected by this evening. In addition, a cold dense Arctic airmass is pushing southward across Alberta.
