Up to 10 cm of snow could fall in spring snowstorm

Cochrane residents should prepare for a significant snowfall event tonight as a storm system moves through the region.

Precipitation will begin as a rain-snow mix before transitioning to heavy snow by the evening.

Most areas can expect 5 to 10 cm of snowfall, though some areas could see totals reaching 15 cm.

Snowfall accumulation will be highly variable across the region, making travel conditions unpredictable.

Drivers are urged to exercise caution, as rapidly accumulating snow may cause reduced visibility and slippery roads. Conditions are expected to deteriorate quickly, and travellers should be prepared for delays.

The snowfall is expected to taper off by Wednesday morning.
