Weather

This snowman in front of St Joseph's College won't melt. The weather will get colder on Monday. Have a look at the weather forecast for the next 2 weeks. "Alberta is home to some of the best Canadian winter weather, and thanks to its resorts in the southern Rocky Mountains, it is one of the most popular Canadian winter tourism destinations. ... Winters are generally cold, crisp and clear — especially in the north (it has the most sunny-days in winter annually of all provinces). Alberta winters are not particularly snowy except for the mountainous areas, where winter temperatures are generally milder too. In fact, the province has the lowest annual snowfall in Canada. The provincial capital and second largest city, Edmonton, is located in central Alberta and generally has cold, dry winters. It is known as the “Gateway to the North.” Southern Alberta, home to the province’s largest city, Calgary, has milder winters. An unusual weather phenomenon known as a Chinook (Föhn!) sometimes brings warm air that can raise temperatures by as much as ten degrees in a matter of minutes."
