If you woke up in Alberta this morning, you might be mistaken for thinking it was December, or January, or at least still winter-time. As the rest of the country is starting to warm up and Canadians are digging out their sunscreen, sunglasses and summer shorts, it seems somebody has forgotten to tell Alberta about the change of seasons since there is summer snow in Alberta. That's right, while other parts of the country are
experiencing extreme heat warnings, in Banff...it is snowing.
While
several weather forecasts did predict snowfall in Southern Alberta this week, even Albertans have been surprised at how quickly the weather has turned, after experiencing sunny weather and temperatures of 22ºC in Calgary just a few short days ago.
A snowfall warning for Banff National Park, Kananaskis and Canmore was issued by Environment Canada yesterday afternoon, and predicted upwards of 10 centimetres of snow in some areas.
