Edmonton Hit by Near Record-Breaking March Snowfall
Wow, what a day for Edmonton! If you stepped outside on Thursday, you were probably greeted with a winter wonderland—or maybe a winter nightmare, depending on your perspective. Reports say that parts of the city were buried under as much as 20 cm of snow, an almost record-breaking amount for this time of year.
March may be known for its unpredictable weather, but this level of snowfall caught many by surprise. Roads were covered in thick layers of snow, making commutes a challenge, and city crews worked tirelessly to clear major routes. For some Edmontonians, it was a nostalgic reminder of classic prairie winters, while for others, it was an unwelcome return of winter just when spring felt within reach.

Weather experts noted that this level of snowfall in late March is unusual, though not entirely unheard of. The city has seen similar storms in the past, but this one stands out for its intensity and timing. Normally, by this point in the season, residents are looking forward to warmer temperatures and the slow melt of winter’s grip. Instead, they found themselves dusting off their snow shovels and bracing for a few extra days of deep freeze conditions.
Despite the heavy snowfall, Edmontonians, as always, took it in stride. Kids built snowmen, skiers and snowboarders enjoyed the fresh powder, and for some, it was just another reason to cozy up indoors with a hot drink. However, drivers faced major headaches, with reports of slow-moving traffic and some minor accidents as roads became slick and visibility dropped.
Looking ahead, many are wondering if this will be the last major snowfall of the season or if winter has a few more surprises left. Either way, this latest storm is sure to be remembered as one of the heaviest March snowfalls in recent history.
