Nearly 500 crashes reported in Calgary’s first snowfall

Monday was manic for some Calgarians thanks to the long-anticipated arrival of a hefty dump of snow.
Calgary police responded to nearly 500 crashes throughout the day.
Of those, three-dozen caused injuries and more than 75 were hit-and runs.
Thankfully, there were no injuries as a result of the hit-and-runs.
The snow is likely to stick around for at least the next few days, as cold temperatures persist.
Tuesday’s forecasted high is – 3 C. The morning will be a chilly one, thanks to a wind chill making it feel more like – 8 C. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) says it will warm up to – 7 C in the afternoon before colling to – 15 C overnight.
Wednesday will be much of the same, according to ECCC. A bitter wind chill will have it feeling like – 14 C in the morning before warming up to – 6 C in the afternoon.
Thursday could see a return of the flurries — ECCC says there’s a 30 per cent chance of some snow, though no word yet on exactly how much.
Heading into the weekend it will warm up a bit — a high of – 8 C on Friday, – 6 C on Saturday, and 5 C on Sunday.
On Monday, the first day of December, Calgary is set to defrost with a high of 5 C and a mix of sun and cloud.
