DYK: the difference between hoar frost and rime icing has to do with sky condition? The short answer is: if it's foggy, that can lead to rime icing (direct freezing of water droplets) If it's a cold, clear night that can lead to hoar frost (sublimation of water droplets) #ABstorm

Here's the Doppler RADAR presentation of a rotating thunderstorm called a supercell earlier this evening near Fawcett. The blue denotes air moving toward the radar whereas red denotes air moving away from it. From this we can infer rotation. #ABstorm #ABwx

Heads Up! While AB has had some snow already this Fall, a pattern change is coming Friday as we approach the end of October. Look for 90 km/h or stronger winds across much of AB, significant snow for some western and northern areas, and cooler next week! #abstorm
