Calgary Police are reminding drivers to be patient and cautious as snow, fog and icy patches create slick conditions across Calgary and Airdrie Friday morning.

Officers are urging motorists to slow down, turn on headlights and leave extra space between vehicles, warning that braking distances may increase on wet and icy roads.

A fog advisory was in effect for Rocky View County, including Airdrie and Crossfield, with near-zero visibility and a risk of freezing rai earlier today.

According to 511 Alberta, Highway 2 and Highway 2A are bare and wet in sections and partly snow-covered in others, with icy wheel paths, slush and limited visibility between Calgary and Bowden.

Environment Canada says fog patches will dissipate by late morning, with periods of snow ending near noon and a 40 per cent chance of flurries this afternoon. The temperature will reach zero, with a morning wind chill of –7.

Police say drivers should use extra caution at bridges and intersections, plan extra travel time and remove all distractions while on the road.

The Farmers’ Almanac’s long-range forecasts for Airdrie have reached their final season, with the publication confirming Thursday that its 2026 edition — already on shelves — will be its last.

“After more than 200 years of sharing a unique blend of weather, wit and wisdom, we’ve made the very difficult decision to write the final chapter of this historical publication,” editors Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger wrote in a farewell titled A Fond Farewell.

The Lewiston, Maine–based publication said the 2026 Farmers’ Almanac will mark “the final chapter” in a tradition that has offered weather predictions, gardening guidance and household tips since 1818.

“Many of you grew up hearing your parents or grandparents quote from the Almanac, always having a copy nearby,” the editors wrote. “We’re grateful to have been part of your life and trust that you’ll help keep the spirit of the Almanac alive.”

“Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, it lives on within you,” they added.

For Airdrie and Prairie readers, that means the long-range forecast for winter 2025–26 — already published in the 2026 edition — will be the last. The Farmers’ Almanac’s extended Canadian forecast predicted “a return to traditional winter patterns — deep freezes, frequent snowfalls, and powerful storms.”

Under its Temperature Outlook, the Almanac said “Arctic air masses will dominate the Prairie Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) … especially in January and February,” bringing “dangerous wind chills and prolonged deep freezes.”

In its Precipitation Outlook, the forecast warned that “the Prairies will see Alberta Clippers bringing whiteouts and blizzard conditions.” January 2026 was described as “stormy and frigid,” followed by February as “the heart of winter” with “widespread snowstorms and deep freezes.”

Founded in 1818 by David Young and Jacob Mann in Morristown, N.J., the Farmers’ Almanac grew into one of North America’s oldest continuously published periodicals. Its legacy includes the introduction of woodcut illustrations in 1842, the creation of the “Caleb Weatherbee” pseudonym in 1983 to protect its secret forecasting formula, and the 1997 launch of FarmersAlmanac.com.

Current editor Sandi Duncan became the first female Almanac editor in U.S. history in 1994, succeeding Peter Geiger, who took over after the death of his father, longtime editor Ray Geiger.

On the same day, editors of The Old Farmer’s Almanac — a separate publication based in Dublin, N.H. — issued a statement confirming it will continue publishing.

“To be clear: The Old Farmer’s Almanac isn’t going anywhere,” the editors wrote. “As we have since 1792, during George Washington’s presidency, we will continue to publish our annual edition, while educating and entertaining readers online at Almanac.com.”

“Rest assured, as sure as the Sun will rise, The Old Farmer’s Almanac … will be around for generations to come,” the statement said.
