Storm’s a-brewin’ | Environment Canada has issued a snow warning for Calgary and the surrounding area, expecting between 10 and 15 cm of snow in Calgary on Thursday, March 15. Once the snow stops falling it will activate the Seven-Day Snow Plan.
Current Status • Crews are applying anti-icing material to trouble spots, such as bridge decks and on-off ramps along Priority 1 (P1) routes.

However, this could change pending significant snowfall in the city.
