A yellow level flash freeze warning is in effect for portions of central and eastern AB as we’ll see rapid freezing into the -15°C area by sunrise. A temp inversion will still make any precip to fall as freezing rain.

A yellow level snowfall warning was issued for the Icefields Parkway this afternoon as multiple rounds of snow could bring upwards of 50cm by Wednesday evening.

I strongly suggest to use other routes in the time being.

Yellow level freezing rain warning issued for west of Edmonton.

It does look like it’s tapering off though.

I’m just done with the freezing rain. I’ll take a metre of snow over this crap.

Freezing rain coming though the city and it’s due to a temperature inversion. It’s about -11°C on the surface while about 500m up it’s 8°C causing rain to fall and not snow.

Gone are the defined warning criterias. They have been replaced with alerts from yellow to red depending on the impact and confidence of each.

Not a bad forecast for this week, a couple fairly cold overnight's and we're getting some precip Wednesday night into Thursday as we'll see rain change to periods of snow.

We'll know more about totals as we get closer but as of right now we could be around 5cm.

Edmonton has seen its first frost.

Not too many places in Alberta that are above freezing this morning.

The “hot spot” at 4.1°C is Egg Island, which is in the middle of Lake Athabasca.

The cold spots are Leedale (by Rimbey) and Abee (by Thorhild) at -9.8°C.

Hello Orion, my old friend.

It’s great to see you again.

Best viewed when the lights are turned out.

Your return in fall is never in doubt.

I know Bruce would’ve liked this tweet.

I miss him.
