For the past four years, it's been a snowy and cold start to October, according to Environment Canada's weather history.

So we can keep the winter boots and big parkas packed away for now. And it should give us more time to enjoy all the amazing fall hikes across Alberta.
Calgary usually gets the first snowfall of the season in September or October, according to our national weather agency.
