Cool with flurries for Calgary's first full week of March

While we've entered March, and thus meteorological spring, we have not arrived in astronomical spring yet; that's not until the Vernal Equinox.

And none of that matters anyways, right? We'll get a snowstorm in the summer if Mother Nature demands it.

Our upper air has produced a whopper of a cold ridge of air; it'll be chilly for a few days. Friday's weather article noted that we'd likely stay well below the seasonal margins until March 10 or beyond; that's coming to pass, and doing so with periods of snow, as well.

There are also a couple of extreme cold warnings in effect as part of the upper ridge; they're well into the north, and unlikely to play a significant role locally, save from keeping us quite a bit cooler. The weekend forecast (note: extraordinarily preliminary weekend forecast) is looking quite a bit warmer than what's presented here.

The slow creep of flurries you'll surely notice populating multiple vectors in our five-day below are, mercifully, quite light throughout, a product of the cold air mass instead of any given system.
