Snowfall Across the Edmonton Region
Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals show how much snow varies within the region: about 124 cm a year at the Edmonton City Centre station (for Edmonton), compared with about 132 cm at the Fort Saskatchewan station (for Fort Saskatchewan). More snow generally means more events, more hours on the road and more exposure for contractors.

Sidewalk Rules Differ Across the Edmonton Region
Municipal sidewalk clearing rules are set city by city, which affects what property owners hire contractors to do. A few examples:

- St. Albert: The City of St.
- Sherwood Park: Sherwood Park is an urban service area in Strathcona County, so county bylaws apply.
- Spruce Grove: The City of Spruce Grove requires property owners to remove snow and ice from public sidewalks within 48 hours of a snowfall under its Traffic Bylaw.
Each city page lists the rules and sources for that municipality. Rules change, so confirm with the municipality.
