The start of next week may bring more snow, with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) forecasting a 60 per cent chance of rain or flurries on Monday evening.
Airdrie and the surrounding areas have only seen a fraction of the average monthly snowfall, nearly 10 centimetres. This week's snowfall saw two centimetres of accumulation.
However, there may be good news as the forecast several days out may change several times, and some forecasting models show different predictions. The Weather Network predicts a chance of showers but no snow on Monday afternoon, while Accuweather predicts a chance of rain and drizzle in the afternoon.
The Weather Network's long-term forecasts predict a very low probability of precipitation on Halloween. Still, it will be chilly in the evening, with a nighttime low of minus seven, and it may be a windy Halloween evening.
On the other hand, Accuweather predicts a low of minus four for the night, with a possible windchill of minus nine and gusting winds. The Farmer's Almanac has previously predicted the possibility of gusty winds arriving in time for Halloween.
What does the rest of autumn have in store for Airdrie?
According to predictions by the Farmer's Almanac, the Prairies will see 'above-normal' precipitation.
Canada is expected to see near- to below-normal precipitation in the Maritimes, southwestern Ontario, southern British Columbia, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Above-normal rainfall is anticipated in southern Quebec, southeastern Ontario, and the Prairies.
Winter predictions
Previously, it's been noted that winter will be colder than normal with above-average precipitation and snowfall, especially in early and late December, January, and February. The snowiest periods will be in mid-to-late November, December, early January, mid-February, and early March.
