Edmonton just saw its first snowfall of the year and people are not happy

Edmonton just experienced its first snowfall of the season, a week before Halloween, and people have a lot to say about it. Edmontonians have been greeted by the first snowfall of the year, with many expressing dissatisfaction as it continues to fall upon the city. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a snowfall warning for much of southern and central Alberta, with an expected 10 to 15 cm expected to fall on the region. This could lead to temperatures of below zero for the next week, potentially leading to a windchill of -20°C on some mornings. While this is expected to last throughout the day, Edmontonians are not pleased to see a significant amount of snowfall before October ends.

It’s already that time of the year again — the first snowfall in Edmonton, when the ground freezes, the sun sets before dinnertime, and nearly everybody forgets how to drive.

Just over a week until Halloween, Edmontonians woke up to a familiar but unwelcome sight as snow continued to fall upon the city.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), our first snowfall of the season is expected to last throughout the day, followed by a week of temperatures of highs below zero. If you thought that we might get a bit more out of the balmy fall weather we’ve had so far, that has quickly come to an end.

It could get so chilly later this week, in fact, that the windchill on some mornings could feel closer to a disturbing -20°C.

Naturally, Edmontonians are not pleased to see a dumping of the white stuff before October ends. Drivers making their way to work this morning were told to use caution on the roads.
