Alberta Weekend Rain Snow Brought Bright Mood
Southern Alberta faced the only province wide storm with rain turning to snow over the weekend. Magrath recorded 1.18 inches, Lethbridge 1.13, Cowley 0.47, and Manyberries 0.49 inches. The system left fields soaked, some frost bitten sugar beets damaged, and trees burdened with snow. Calgary saw 0.9 inches, skies were gray with little wind, and showers gave way to a snowy Sunday, bending branches and injuring garden plants. The moisture boosted the May total above average across the district.
