In the SW earlier this morning the rain was slowly melting the snow and things started to look very green. Flakes just turned big and fluffy again though
Y'all telling me you two don't have snow on the ground in your area of the city?
I live in the SW inner-city, and there was 4" of heavy snow on the ground yesterday morning; none on the streets though, just lawns and rooftops.
By the time I got home last night 99% of it had melted over the course of the day. It snowed lightly last night, but streets were dry when I left this morning.

This hurts me to the core

It started snowing this morning on my drive to the office downtown, but it has tapered off and stopped for a few minutes. Now it's eeeeeeeever so faintly coming down that I can barely see it out the window. Everything that had fallen melted on contact, except for a light dusting on some nearby rooftops.
Depends where you are. Southern Alberta moisture levels are good now, central and NW Alberta is very poor.
Most River levels are really poor right now:
Bow River near the Mouth – On March 6, the flow was measured to be 39.9
m³/s, the lowest March measurement in the last 24 years.
Elbow River at Sarcee Bridge – On February 26, the flow was measured to
be .76 m³/s, the fifth lowest winter measure in the past 25 years.
Oldman Reservoir – Current storage is 35%. Normal for this time of year is
between 61% and 82%.
Snow Pack is getting better, and this week should help a lot.
Bow River basin – 11 of the 17 sites were in the normal range or above.
Sunshine Village is the lowest and is approximately 100 mm below the
normal range.
It looks like this storm did just about get Sunshine up to their normal level for the year.
Skoki's snowpack is so... average.
Anecdotally, they haven't plowed the XL jumps onto Easy Street yet, so Lake Louise is actually having a pretty good snow year. Who saw that one coming!?

"Anywhere that is feeding off, or would normally feed off the Oldman reservoir, is still in a critical state of drought. Not much has changed. Their water supplies have not rebounded," Stadnyk said.
"Unfortunately, there is not a lot of snowpack to draw from in those mountains. Even as we head towards warmer conditions, we're not expecting the amount of snowmelt that's going to be adding to that system to help pull it out of the drought state."
