Snow Report: Feb13/11


Last night the winds were easily over 100km/hr and it was raining in Pincher Creek through to Coleman but we are just high enough that that changed to snow between us and Coleman, AB. Today it is +1 and mostly sunny. Last night we got grauple which is not a solid as hail but still little balls of snow instead of snowflakes. This heated up to form a lattice of crust. We got another inch of snow last night and the snow is dense but not wet. We still have not gotten rain.
We heard that hwy #1 is closed - not sure where right now but it has foiled some plans for people leaving Calgary to head west so we are getting calls about coming south. Our hwy #3 is open and there is regular moving traffic on it. We are not losing any snow to the warmer temps over the past few days as it replenishes itself overnight. Forecast is for more snow tomorrow and overcast. Waterton area is getting 154km winds but we are calm. Hope this helps you make plans. Cheers -V
