Environment Canada warns up to 25 cms of snow to fall on Calgary by Tuesday

CALGARY — A winter snow advisory has been issued for the City of Calgary, with Environment Canada warning of up to 25 cms of heavy snow falling by Tuesday.

The weather agency says snowfall amounts may vary significantly as some of the snow will melt on contact with the warm ground, with western parts of the province expected to see the most snow.

Calgary officials say city crews are working around the clock to respond to the snow, and are applying material to help minimize icy buildup.

The city says additional contracted resources have been activated to help respond to the snow.

Environment Canada warns visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

It is advising people to be prepared for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.
