April 17 - The Alberta Blizzard Blitz in Centennial '67

In some areas, after the full series, there was reported to have been as much as 175 cm of snow. What is that to you and me? That is also known as 5 feet 9 inches of snow!! Because these storms hit while we were getting later into April, many cattle were already out in the pastures.  This was a big problem when you consider over 51/2 feet of snow and the obvious sustained cold that would have accompanied such an event.  Learn more about your ad choices.
