Calgary, November 7: Continuous and at times heavy snowfall made for a slow Monday morning commute on Calgary roads.
The Calgary Police Service confirmed 11 crashes between midnight and 8 a.m., including two involving injuries and four hit-and-runs.
With as much as 12 centimetres of snow forecast to fall by Monday evening, city officials say the traffic snarls were related to the timing and intensity of the storm.
With Calgary dipping to -15 C Sunday night, water main issues were once again popping up.
According to the City of Calgary’s website, six water main breaks were reported over the weekend and, as of early Monday morning, five of those remain an issue.
The breaks serve as a reminder to everyone to keep the windows of their homes are fully closed, ensure the temperature is kept at least around 15 C, and check for any possible drafts.
Calgarians can expect temperatures as low as -30 with consideration for the wind chill from Monday night into Tuesday morning.
