AKIPRESS.COM - Canadians in Alberta are calling it “Snowtember” this week, as heavy snow is falling across the Calgary region.

The wintry inundation has brought town trees and power lines, and is wreaking havoc on the morning commute.

Calgary snowfall totals this week are more than what the city typically sees in the months of September and October, combined.

Calgary airport has totaled more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) of snow since Monday.

The 11.8 cm that Calgary saw on Monday broke it’s previous September 8 snowfall record which was set in 1921, when the city accumulated 11.7 cm.

On top of what’s already fallen, another five inches is expected through Wednesday evening in Calgary itself, while higher amounts of up to 10 inches could fall in the higher elevations.
