Roads and highways in and around the city Tuesday were covered in heavy, wet snow with more expected overnight. Parts of Calgary reported snowfall amounts of up to 40 centimetres in a 12-hour period with similar amounts in the mountain parks and other areas of southern Alberta. Calgary police reported 251 collisions and dozens of flights were cancelled or delayed at Calgary International Airport. Environment Canada warned that the heavy wet snow may cause some trees to break. Photos released by the Calgary Zoo showed its pandas, who arrived at the zoo in May, frolicking in the frosty flakes.
