Edmonton’s inevitable first snow of the season has arrived.

The low pressure system bringing the inclement weather will likely stay for the Thanksgiving weekend – just like that uncle of yours who eats all the pie and doesn’t help clean up.

There will be bouts of snow overnight Friday into Saturday morning – around two to four centimetres. Then, snow will continue throughout the evening and into Sunday, dropping another similar amount.

No one is surprised, snow before Halloween is quite normal in these parts. But that hasn’t stopped a snowstorm of hilarious social media reaction that made us giggle.
