Aren’t we all dreaming of a white Christmas? Well, a white Christmas isn’t unusual in Calgary but, just how snowy it will be is the question. This year is looking pretty snowy with a 60% chance of the white stuff according to the Government of Canada.
Calgary has had 13 green Christmasses from 1987-2019, so although we’re in the midst of a cold spell, a dry Calgary Christmas is never out of the question. According to Kyle Fougere, a meteorologist who spoke with CBC, an arctic air mass has settled over Alberta. This means not only is it likely to be snowy but it’s guaranteed to be cold.
A quick look at the Environment Canada forecast confirms this with temperatures in the negatives for at least the next week. Looking further to the Weather Network’s 14-day forecast, and it looks like Calgary will be well below freezing on Christmas day and beyond.
