Winter resumed early Sunday morning in Calgary as heavy snowfall blanketed parts of the city.
The wet, heavy snowfall made for difficult driving conditions and could worsen as the day progresses, according to a city release.
The city issued an update at 8 a.m. Sunday saying the snow, which was expected to end around noon, was now forecast to last through Sunday afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to drop throughout Sunday from -1 C to -5 C, potentially creating icing conditions. Windy conditions also created a significant amount of snow.
The city said it has crews applying material and plowing the city’s busiest roads, including Memorial Drive, Crowchild and Glenmore.
Macleod Trail between 36 Avenue and 25 Avenue is closed due to a fatal vehicle collision.
