Snow blankets parts of Alberta over Thanksgiving long weekend
Is it really Thanksgiving long weekend in Alberta without folks seeing some snow?
Residents took to social media on Sunday and Monday capturing some flurries in various parts of Alberta including Edmonton, Calgary, Kananaskis and Canmore.
The snow hit hard in Kananaskis. 10cm on the ground and still snowing 10cm/hr in Sibbald. Time to wax the skis! pic.twitter.com/Wir0coUFlX
