Understanding Calgary's Winter Weather Patterns

December 20, 2023

Navigating Calgary's Unique Climate

Calgary is famous for its unpredictable weather, from heavy dumpings of snow to the warm Chinook winds.

The Chinook Effect

Chinooks can melt snow rapidly, leading to slush during the day that freezes into dangerous black ice at night. Effective ice management is just as critical as snow clearing in our city.

Sudden Snowfalls

It's not uncommon for Calgary to receive significant accumulation in a matter of hours. This requires a snow removal team that is agile and constantly monitoring forecasts.

Dry vs. Wet Snow

We experience both light, fluffy powder (easier to clear but drifts easily) and heavy, wet snow (hard to move and dangerous to shovel manually). Our equipment is capable of handling both efficiently.
