Alberta clipper storm system dumps a foot of snow onto Edmonton

In the span of under 24 hours, Edmonton went from having bare roads and brown grass to becoming a winter wonderland, as a foot of snow fell when an Alberta clipper swept across the Prairie province on Sunday, Feb. 25.
Environment Canada said it was the largest storm of what has otherwise been an unseasonably mild, dry winter.
The sudden weather change caused ice to form on roads before they were covered by up to a foot of blowing snow, and prompting the City of Edmonton to enact a parking ban.
Lisa MacGregor has more on the parking ban and traffic woes.
