It’s currently -5 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with calm winds.

Today’s weather is more akin to a winter sampler, a multi-course tapas of snow, freezing rain, and debilitating fog. We start the course with very heavy morning fog causing near-zero visibility, which is expected to lift by noon. We then move on to periods of snow and a 30 per cent chance of flurries, which, given our luck lately, means it will be a 100 per cent chance. We end the meal with a freezing drizzle reduction that could turn the roads into an ice rink, so be light on the gas pedal! These will of course be garnished by 15 km/h winds that will persist overnight and into Friday, bringing the Thursday wind chill to -6 in the day and -16 overnight. Bon appetite!
