Alberta's Weather Forcast Is Calling For 'Heavy Snow' & 'Exceptionally Cold Air'
Here's when you'll need to bundle up!
The Alberta weather forecast is looking like a chilly mess, with snowfall, strong winds and cold temperatures.
Calgary weather is expected to be a flip-flop of changing conditions and the rest of the province is getting hit too.
The Weather Network said that people in the Prairies should expect snowfall on Monday and some strong wind gusts. Winds could get up to 60 km/h, creating blowing snow conditions. TWN warned that this can lead to "reduced visibility for drivers."
Environment Canada has issued winter storm warnings for parts of Alberta and a blowing snow advisory.
TWN added that Calgary has a snow squall warning. They said that the warning states that "snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common."
"Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero," it added.
The good news is that the snowfall is expected to go down on throughout Monday, so you can put the shovel away for a bit, but don't get too excited. The "exceptionally cold air" will then make its way in during the week.

"By Wednesday, Arctic air will accumulate along the Rockies and will cause temperatures to first bottom out in Alberta," TWN said.
People in Calgary and Edmonton can expect temperatures below minus 20 degrees, and it might be like that for a few days.
Kevin MacKay, a meteorologist at TWN said that "Edmonton and Calgary will be up to 35 degrees colder than regions in South Dakota on the other side of the jet stream where temperatures will be in the teens."
