Calgary airport resumes operations after pausing flights as snowstorm hits city
CBC
Operations have resumed at the Calgary International Airport following a temporary pause earlier Monday morning caused by a snowstorm that's hitting much of southern Alberta.
All flight arrivals and departures had been put on hold as of about 9 a.m. as crews struggled to cope with continuing, steady snowfall in the city.
The pause was lifted as of about 10:25 a.m., the airport said.
"We do anticipate seeing delays throughout the day given the winter weather conditions, and we encourage anyone travelling to please check directly with their airline for the most up to date flight information," an airport spokesperson said.
The snowfall is also making for a slippery and slow Monday morning commute for drivers in Calgary.
From midnight to 8 a.m., there were 76 calls related to collisions and slippery road conditions, with six involving injuries, police said.
Environment Canada says the snowfall should end by late in the afternoon, with accumulations of five to 10 centimetres around the city.
South of Calgary anywhere between 10 and 20 centimetres of snow is expected to fall on Monday.
A snowfall warning was issued by Environment Canada for parts of southern Alberta including Lethbridge, Taber, Cardston, Fort Macleod and Pincher Creek.
Snowfall in southern Alberta is predicted to intensify throughout the day but taper off by the evening.
