CALGARY – It’s spring, but feels more like winter. As predicted, snow started falling in the city Saturday.

The city says its crews will switch from spring clean-up to snow removal, focusing on priority routes first.

“We’re filling up our trucks with sand and material,” says Jessica Bell, with City of Calgary Roads .  “They’ll make that transition once it starts to snow.”

Spring clean-up will still go ahead Monday.

Starting Monday, if you park on a block with parking bans for street sweeping, your vehicle will be towed.

Environment Canada is calling for more snow Saturday, with up to 4cm expected.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Calgary and surrounding areas, warning residents to watch out for wet snow, which could make travel challenging.
