Foggy Morning Turns to Snowfall in Calgary
Calgary started the day under a thick blanket of fog, making it a quiet and misty Friday morning for residents. Visibility was reported to be poor, prompting Environment and Climate Change Canada to issue a fog advisory early in the day. The fog, however, didn’t stick around for long. By around 8:30 a.m., snowflakes were beginning to fall in the downtown core, spreading southward from the northern parts of the city.
The morning weather shift caught many by surprise. What had started as just fog quickly transformed into a light snowfall, with flakes gently covering roads and sidewalks. Meteorologists explained that temperatures had stayed just cool enough to keep the precipitation as snow rather than rain. Kevin Stanfield from 660 NewsRadio noted that the snowfall would be brief. He explained that the precipitation, while forecasted for the morning, would mostly clear by around 9 a.m., and any accumulation on the streets or sidewalks would likely melt as the day warmed. Calgary’s high for the day was expected to reach around 3 degrees Celsius, meaning that any snow coating on the ground would be short-lived.

For those on the roads during the early morning hours, caution was advised. The combination of fog, wet roads, and fresh snow made driving conditions tricky, though officials reassured the public that the situation was manageable and temporary. Drivers were reminded to adjust their speed and leave extra space between vehicles to stay safe during the brief snowy spell.
While the snow brought a picturesque start to the day, the forecast suggested that this wintry moment wouldn’t linger. Residents could expect the skies to clear and conditions to improve fairly quickly. Still, the shift from fog to snow served as a reminder of Calgary’s famously unpredictable weather, where mornings can start misty and quiet, only to turn into a fleeting winter scene within a few hours.
