Calgary’s First Snowfall: A Frosty Welcome

Calgarians, time to grab your winter coats—our first snow has arrived! On October 12, 2025, McKenzie Towne residents woke up to a sparkling white blanket, marking the official start of the snowy season. Snow in October isn’t unusual for Calgary, a city known for its chinooks and unpredictable weather. While some relish the winter wonderland and the impending ski season, others might groan at the thought of icy commutes. Historically, Calgary’s first snow can fall as early as September, emphasizing the importance of winter readiness—think snow tires and shovels! For newcomers, this snowy debut is a reminder of Calgary’s unique charm and resilient spirit. Stay warm out there, folks, and remember, hot chocolate helps. Stay cozy, Calgary!
