On Wednesday, rain turned into snow in southern Alberta, with Pincher Creek and Blairmore getting up to five centimetres before it became rain again. It also snowed at higher elevations in the Rockies for most of the afternoon.
Lethbridge, Claresholm and Pincher Creek had the highest precipitation.
The blast of winter came as welcome news for ski resorts.
Tanya Otis, spokeswoman for Sunshine Village Ski and Snowboard Resort, said it snowed about two centimetres between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Similarly, the snow was coming down at higher elevations further west.
Most of the ski resorts in the Rockies open in November.
