Just looked at the forecast for this week for Medicine Hat courtesy of The Weather Network .
Today: Sunny, +21.
This weekend: Upwards of 45 cm of snow. Yes, that is forty-five centimeters, not four and a half centimeters.
I hope the forecaster person was reading his charts upside down or was using the wrong ink and his notes smeared or something.

Wow, that is a lot of snow! I got my winter tires on, raked the last of the leaves today, got my flu shot, so guess I’m as ready for winter as I’ll ever be.
Don't like The Weather Network.
Been wrong a lot over the years.
Snowfall warning in effect for:
Snowfall with total amounts of 10 to 15 cm is expected.
- City of Edmonton - St. Albert - Sherwood Park
An area of heavy snow is expected to move over portions of Central Alberta beginning Saturday morning. The heaviest snow is expected to develop near the city of Edmonton. The snow will taper off by Sunday morning.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Take frequent breaks and avoid strain when clearing snow.
Snowfall warnings are issued when significant snowfall is expected.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ABStorm.
Stormy AF down here in the SE corner of the province. We're supposed to get another 20 cm today with wind gusts up around 70 km/hr. I don't know how much we got over night but I'm guessing it was around 10 cm.
My kids have the week off school for some reason so we'll be going tobagganing once this bad storm moves on. They've never had a November break before so I'm assuming it's a week for the school to clean and sanitize to stay on top of things.
holy crap that's crazyBuddy of mine seen this on FB and sent it to me.
Then there was a 30 vehicle smashup by Coalhurst, which is just west of Lethbridge.

holy crap that's crazy
I thought the 15cm here in Edmonton was bad
Edmonton got off light lol
I'd say we got at least double that plus the wind last evening was blowing at about 40 and gusting to around 60. It was worse further east between Swift Current and Maple Creek. Lethbridge area obviously got fisted too. Sunny today though so bonus? We're in for yet another 10 cm tomorrow here .
I have 3 or 4 foot high drifts along the entire side of my house plus another one between my house and garage I have to move before it warms up later in the week and starts to melt or else I could have basement problems. Good thing the kids have two sleds. Gonna load the snow onto them and move it towards the back that way instead of shovelling it from point A to B to C and handling it three times.
Gonna have my second bowl of Wheaties and a can of spinach before venturing out lol.
where are you getting your info from?For clarity edmonton got about 30cm, not as bad, but just wanted to add the correct total in here. It was a considerable dump here as well. The initial expectation here was 10-15, which quickly altered to 25-30cm. System was even parked on top of us for a long time, around 30hrs. Fortunately this all happening on a weekend. Lots of highways got shut around here as well including the main Highway 16 just west of the city..
where are you getting your info from?
it says 19cm here
