The swings in the weather account for 68% of the entertainment of daily life in the Canadian Prairies

Areas west of Calgary proper (and higher in elevation than the city) are expecting lows of -9 degrees C (16 degrees F) tomorrow night. That's pretty chilly for early September, even for here. Check out the forecast for Cochrane, for example. The presence of abundant snow on the ground can result in impressively cold lows for the time of year, since the relatively warm ground is cut off from the air. Farther east in central Saskatchewan with no snow on the ground, we are expecting relatively tame lows of -2 degrees C (and we are 600 metres lower in elevation).

I don't have stats for Canada but meanwhile even Great Falls Montana is 4 weeks earlier than normal with the snow this year.

Current temps. See the Arctic High Pressure dropping down? And see the strong Low heading to Great Lakes. Wind Chills in the 20s in Alberta even into Montana and South Dakota right now.

Reminds me of Snowtober in CNJ. I loved that storm .

But leaves had already started falling by then.

Snow still falling in Calgary as of Wednesday morning: Power outages leave 30,000 in dark after overnight snowstorm

Quote:
At least 10 cm of snow fell overnight, with up to another 12 cm expected by noon.
Many webcams not working, likely due to the power outages. This one's still working though.

Haha, 75 (around 24) by Monday... I will never live in Calgary! Unless I'd get a job there that would pay me a million £ a week!!
