Snow Falls WHERE?
A second round of summer snow has struck Calgary, Alberta, Canada, snarling travel, downing trees, and triggering thousands of power outages.
The weight of this wet snow took its toll, downing numerous leafy trees in Calgary, the province's largest city at a population of 1 million. About 30,000 customers were without power as of Wednesday morning, according to , the city's electricity provider.
According to the Calgary Herald, the city received in less than 24 hours from Monday morning through Tuesday morning. The city opened its emergency operations center Tuesday to coordinate the response.
Roads were being salted and were generally slushy, though power outages affected some traffic lights. , according to CBC News. Air Canada issued a travel alert, waiving change fees for those scheduled to fly into or out of the airport.
Calgary International Airport reported 11.8 centimeters (about 4.6 inches) of snow Monday and another 1.3 centimeters (about 0.5 inches) Tuesday.

Current Temperatures
Shocking as the snow was to many, it wasn't the city's earliest late-summer snowfall. Calgary recorded 11.7 centimeters (just under 5 inches) of snow on Sept. 8 in 1921, according to Environment Canada statistics.
The earliest single-day snowfall of 10 centimeters (4 inches) or more there was on Sept. 6, 1972, but Calgary had a two-day total of 10.4 centimeters on Aug. 25-26, 1900.
It even snowed in Calgary once in July, when 0.3 centimeter (0.1 inch) fell on July 23, 1918.
September has, on average, 1-2 days of measurable snow in Calgary. On average, only one September day every three years sees at least 5 centimeters (just under 2 inches) of snow. Calgary's two-day total of 13.1 centimeters (about 5.2 inches) is on par with average snowfall for September and October, combined (14 centimeters), according to Environment Canada, the country's equivalent of the National Weather Service.
This week's snow was an attention-grabber, especially coming so early in the month and just a day after Sunday's high of 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
, with snow expected to taper off from north to south.
Some of that snow is spilling over the international border, and the cold air will sweep across a large part of the U.S. this week.

Hi `Keane,
I hope you don't get a bad snow year 4-Sure...Maybe the Dart will be great in the snow ? You must start trying to think positive instead of negative > maybe
I've never been in snow, but I look forward to it...(maybe not driving on the highways, but snowboarding 4-Sure.
I just don't like what snow does do Monte Carlo's and nice rides that have to be driven on ice/snow/salt etc
Wish U a mild winter & a good handling Dodge `Dart

I am not even ready for snow. I am still sick of it from last year. I hope it is not as bad since I will be driving the monte in the snow. The monte does great in it but I like it clean, not white from snow and salt.
