CALGARY -- Weather warnings were in place for several areas in central and southern Alberta as a band of snow moved across the province, however they were lifted by mid-afternoon Monay.
The warnings said visibility will be greatly reduced and snow will accumulate quickly.
"Overall snowfall amounts will likely approach 10-15 cm, however the bulk of that snow has already fallen and the low visibility is the main hazard at this time," read the warning.

- Airdrie, Cochrane, Olds, Sundre
- Drumheller, Three Hills
- Red Deer, Ponoka, Innisfail, Stettler
- Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park
