Weather summary for Alberta issued by Environment Canada at 4:43 p.m. MDT Sunday 29 September 2019. A strong Idaho low, which formed late Thursday, September 26, prompted winter storm and snowfall warnings to be issued Friday, September 27. This vigorous low pressure system interacted with terrain in the southwest to bring total snowfall amounts as high as 80 centimetres, and blowing snow and gusty westerly winds behind the low as it moves eastward. As the event is ongoing, these values may need to be updated. You can report snowfall amounts via social media to #abstorm, or you can email your reports to abstorm@canada.ca.
