Snow to sunshine: Calgary forecast to flirt with 20°C mark soon in DECEMBER

Calgary may have received a dusting of snow last night, and more flurries are in the cards for today, but a major warmup is in the forecast with wild temperatures for December.

YYC escaped the threat of a hefty snowfall last night, and things are truly looking up as we look ahead in the forecast.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Calgary will see a bit of a cool down heading into the weekend before a gradual rise in temperatures.
