5 to 10 centimetres of snow for Calgary Tuesday

Share

Light snowfall is well underway in Calgary, with more along the route as we delve through this one. Earlier snowfall reports of three to five centimetres have been overrun (as reported last night) to five centimetres at a minimum.

Our temperature trend will help kick that new layer of the fluff-stuff to the curb, as Thursday is expected to be sunny and toasty. This all lies on the heels of another chilly spell that'll divide the weekend in half, making for a favourable Saturday, and a much cooler Sunday.

The snow that's falling today amasses over the course of the entire day in a slow and steady upward tick – this relative to both snow on ground, and to our temperature trend for the day.

West wind will build up by Thursday, creating a hefty melting pattern, but notice the trend for overnight lows that follow; we'll have a decent amount of freezing, and – spoiler alert – another day shaping just like Tuesday… on Sunday.

On the eve of the 30th anniversary of Quebec's second independence referendum -- the first one was in 1980 -- it seems the tide could be turning again. Legault is deeply unpopular after six years in power, and the Parti Quebecois, with a young, charismatic leader, has been ahead in the polls for more than a year.
