trading operations feature resumed at the Calgary International drome followers a temporary break earlier Monday morning caused by a snowstorm that's hitting much of southern Alberta.
All flight arrivals and departures had been put on hold as of about 9 a.m. As crews struggled to cope with continuing, steady snowfall in the city.
The pause was lifted as of about 10:25 a.m., the airport said.
"We do anticipate seeing delays throughout the day given the winter weather conditions, and we encourage anyone travelling to please check directly with their airline for the most up to date flight information," an airport spokesperson said.
The snowfall is also making for a slippery and slow Monday morning commute for drivers in Calgary.
From midnight to 8 a.m., there were 76 calls related to collisions and slippery road conditions, police said.
Environment Canada says the snowfall should end by late in the afternoon, with accumulations of five to 10 centimetres around the city.
South of Calgary anywhere between 10 and 20 centimetres of snow is expected to fall on Monday.
A snowfall warning was issued by Environment Canada for parts of southern Alberta including Lethbridge, Taber, Cardston, Fort Macleod and Pincher Creek.
Snowfall in southern Alberta is predicted to intensify throughout the day but taper off by the evening.
Officials Calgary Transit said all snow detours within the city are in effect for the morning commute. Numerous buses became stuck on slick streets around the city.
Earlier this month, Calgary Transit announced that it has begun a gradual process of replacing worn out and damaged all-season tires on its 40- and 60-foot bus fleets with all-weather tires.
The new tires won't be installed on the entire fleet of buses until 2029, Calgary Transit said.
A full list of bus routes that have designated snow detours is on the Calgary Transit website.
“Activating these detours city-wide will reduce risks of stuck buses and slowdowns for customers and commuters,” the city said in a release.
“Motorists are reminded to monitor changing weather conditions — snow covered roads, ice and visibility can be a factor in your commute. Prepare yourself before you head out, leave plenty of time to get to where you need to go and adapt to the changing weather.”
All regular school routes will stay in place and will not be impacted by detours.
