Drivers wereadvised to be careful during the morning commute. The city said crews would be out plowing routes throughout the day.

"They were saying scattered showers, it was supposed to miss us. I didn't expect quite as much, but that's life. We're Calgary," said Brian Herbert as he shovelled his walk.

"I saw it coming down last night, so I knew I was going to be out today."
