A snowfall warning issued for Calgary has now ended.
The warning, originally issued by Environment Canada on Sunday, remained in place throughout Monday morning before being cancelled at around noon.
Snowfall warnings are issued when 10 cm or more of snow is expected to fall within 12 hours.
“Snow will continue lightly but persistently today,” meteorologist Jordan Witzel said on Monday. “I would say an additional five centimeters of snow is a safe bet.”
