We hit 13C today, I ended up sitting out in t-shirt and shorts at one point this afternoon, 'glorious' doesn't even touch the sides:

 

been incredibly warm here in Edmonton for early Feb..never got below +8c last night..looking at the models could be an early spring no cold weather showing right out to the end of the month

A bit of an overdone title page but looks quite a blizzard!!

Snowfall warning as mentioned above. Just wet snow at moment as currently above freezing.

I’d anticipate settling and accumulating snow kicking in after dark as temps start to plummet. Maybe up to 20cm’s.

Forecast lows of close to minus 30 by early next week. A cold snap is certainly on its way.

This looks suspiciously like that last band that split west and east of here...fingers crossed it doesn't get a fright this time:

I did wonder about that but the radars filled in nicely now. Can see the snow accumulating in Calgary on the webcams. Could be a nice amount by morning.

How's things in Calgary now, @CatchMyDrift ? Looks pretty chilly from what I see...!

-21C and some snow on the ground, we got about 8cm overall so not quite the promised snowstorm. Having said that a stiff breeze now would be good, the snow is like Lux flakes and very dry.

Winter's still alive then. I had a thin strip of slush on the car windscreen late yesterday evening, that's it till later in the week. Although Saturday was pretty for many parts.

Classic Colorado winter weather -17C to +18C all within ONE week!

A stunning day in the Rockies today. Deep blue skies against a back drop of fresh snow capped mountains. 

For me there really is no place like the Rocky Mountains ?

Probably the least amount hes had in the last 5years!!!!

So, sorry

They were forecasting 10oC today which would be close to a date record. Though it’s been reduced a few degrees.

I always find the beginning of March fascinating. So different from yeah to year.

In 2010 it was the warmest March 1 ever at 10.3oC and in 2014 it was -34oC (coldest March 1 ever) 

Just 2 years ago was the most snow ever on this date at 40cm. 

Anyway the warm weather goes tonight with a drop in temps and rain turning to snow. Maybe slight accumulation. Then a potentially snowy and somewhat cooler week in store. 

[Coopsy]

It’s been a fairly snowy day today but no accumulation.

Forecast of around 10-15cm’s by end of tomorrow.

I’m not so sure to be honest.

As expected nothing to write home about. Maybe 5cm max and now snowmelt underway. Wet on roads and sidewalks with little snow left. 

Forecast is still for a few more cm’s today but I can’t see that happening at all.

Yeah I bet. It’s been pretty poor for the SE this year hasn’t it. Not sure there’s even been any snow falling has there?

It's been very poor. We've had sleet and a few heavy graupel showers

[Coopsy]

Well it’s started and to be fair it’s pretty heavy and starting to accumulate.

These are good webcam to watch it live for anyone interested...
