20 Dec 2017 – As much as 31 cm (just under a foot) of snow fell across Calgary since Tuesday afternoon, breaking the day’s previous snowfall record of 11.7 cm set 64 years ago in 1953.
The same storm blanketed much of southwestern Alberta, dumping 60 cm (2 ft) of snow on the hamlet of Beaver Mines, while nearby Castle Mountain Ski Resort saw 40 cm, and Okotoks just south of the city got 35 cm.
The snow also triggered a number of crashes, including two fatalities.
