If you are planning a trip to the Rockies this weekend, prepare for more than just hiking boots—a snowsuit might be necessary. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a snowfall warning affecting Alberta’s mountain areas, including Banff and near Lake Louise.
Heavy, wet snow is expected to begin Friday evening and continue through Saturday night, with accumulations between 10 and 15 centimetres over the next 24 hours.
“Travel will likely be challenging. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow,” the report warned.
