What’s a May long weekend in Cochrane without a weather advisory?

Cochrane and the surrounding areas are currently under a Frost advisory. 

If you are camping nearby, hopefully you’ve packed accordingly.

Freezing temperatures are expected tonight.

Residents that have gotten an early start on their gardens are advised to take preventative measures to protect frost-sensitive plants and trees. Temperatures below freezing I could lead to potential damage and destruction to plants and crops.

The Frost advisory is in effect for the following areas:

  • Rocky View Co. near Cochrane
  • Mountain View Co. near Carstairs and Stirlingville
  • Mountain View Co. near Cremona and Water Valley
  • Mountain View Co. near Olds and Didsbury
  • Mountain View Co. near Sundre
