Round of slick snow to blow through southern Alberta into Friday
Folks across Calgary and southern Alberta could see slower commutes Thursday evening and Friday morning as another round of snow slides into the province.
After what has already been a snowy week, even more snow is on the way heading into Friday morning as a low-pressure system scrapes across southern Alberta, continuing the risk of travel delays and hazards.
Calgary saw its first major snowstorm of the season on Monday, when snowfall rates reached 1 cm per hour, resulting in numerous vehicle accidents and flight delays. In total, 10-15 cm of snow fell over southern Alberta throughout the day.
