Airdrie and the surrounding areas are under a snowfall warning as southern Alberta prepares for a significant winter storm.
According to Environment Canada, snow will begin early Friday morning and spread northward, bringing a long period of heavy snowfall.
The area could see 5 to 10 cm of snow by Saturday morning, with heavier snow arriving early Saturday. Another 10 to 15 centimetres is expected by Saturday evening, totalling 15 to 25 centimetres by the time the storm eases overnight into Sunday.
Heavy snow could lead to rapidly changing conditions, reduced visibility and difficult travel. Roads, sidewalks, and parking lots may become challenging, so residents are advised to be cautious and prepare for deteriorating conditions.
Stay safe, Airdrie, and prepare for a snowy weekend ahead!
