From the WeatherNetwork:Snowfall is expected to begin Friday morning throughout most of Alberta, including Calgary and Edmonton, giving a widespread few centimeters during the day on Friday.
Snowfall will intensify Friday evening for much of Alberta, with sustained winds approaching 40 km/h at this time. This combination will likely result in widespread near-blizzard conditions for Friday evening and through the overnight. Local heavier bursts of snow could result in near-zero visibilities and very hazardous driving conditions.
Snowfall will ease through Saturday morning, with the exception of extreme Southern Alberta. Winds and blowing snow will continue to be an issue through Saturday, diminishing Saturday night.
Total snowfall accumulations: 10 to 20 cm, higher totals in snowdrifts and heavier bursts. Windchill values will approach -20C for Friday night through Saturday.
update 12-04-2009: And did we get some snow!! 6-8 inches! And we are very very happy to have 4x4 vehicles. The engine really has to work, hard. Great fun slipping and sliding, being a macho 4x4. Rear wheel powered cars are virtually useless in this kind of weather, and they have no ground clearance. So a 4x4 truck is a must have. Best you buy a F350, RAM3500 or HD3500.
