Update Nov 13 @ 3:40 pm: final tally was 16 cm and it’s wet, heavy and already consolidated down to 12 cm. It stopped snowing around 1 pm.
If anything, the weather forecast was modest in its snowfall prediction for Canmore.
As I write this at 10 a.m., I already have 10 cm of accumulation. The part that worries me is there is rain in the forecast, too.
According to the Canmore downtown time lapse webcam, the snow started around 5 a.m. which means we’re being inundated at the rate of 2 cm per hour.
Check the webcams before you go anywhere today. Right now, the highway is completely snow covered at Lake Louise and Castle junction. Sunshine overpass is getting there. Blacktop is still visible at Dead Man’s Flats.
