Local Snow Facts: St. Albert
Snowfall. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the nearby Edmonton City Centre station record an average of about 124 cm of snowfall a year, with about 7 days a year bringing 5 cm or more of new snow.
Sidewalks. The City of St. Albert requires anyone who owns or occupies land to keep the adjoining sidewalk clear of dangerous snow or ice conditions within 48 hours from when the condition formed (Community Standards Bylaw 12/2010).
Snow on the road. No person may remove snow or ice from any sidewalk or property by placing it on City property, other than the adjacent boulevard they occupy (Community Standards Bylaw 12/2010).
