Over the weekend, several areas in Alberta and British Columbia experienced some frosty weather as temperatures hovered just above zero degrees.
We’re waking up to snow from the summit right down to the village this morning! Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian family. We are thankful to call this beautiful part of British Columbia home and to be able to share it with you this winter.

This includes Fort McMurray in Northern Alberta, which has been above seasonal for most of the month, but is now sitting at five degrees below seasonal due to cold winds from the northwest.

"This is exceptionally early for an accumulating snowfall in low elevation areas of NS.. Antigonish is near sea level. Interesting to see snow on the ground with trees in full foliage in the background," a Twitter user wrote.
