'You're never safe': Snow falls in Calgary this May weekend

If you were looking forward to the long weekend and all the great things happening around Calgary, you may have been disappointed to wake up to snow on Friday.

This morning, people shared videos and photos on social media of white objects falling in different parts of the city.

Can confirm that the white matter is back. After that, you are never safe #MayruzakDemalis #Abtorm #year pic.twitter.com/QnYgfQjqAk

Many Calgarians may be disappointed but not surprised to see snow, as it's not uncommon for a weekend in May to get a ton of rain or snow.

It wouldn't be the Friday before the May long weekend without a little snow in Calgary. #year

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, it looks like the rain is expected to continue over the weekend and into next week, so keep those umbrellas handy!

This is good news for many areas of Alberta that are suffering from severe drought.
