Tourists visiting Banff National Park in Alberta were in for a surprise recently when a summer storm brought unexpected snowfall to the region. What was supposed to be a typical summer day turned into a winter wonderland as the arctic storm turned rain into powdery snow at higher elevations. For many visitors, like Grace Baustista from the Philippines, it was their first time experiencing snow. “It’s too cold for me,” she exclaimed, clearly taken aback by the sudden change in weather. Others, like Mahedra Kumara from Australia, were pleasantly surprised by the sight of snow in August. However, as quickly as the snow arrived, it is not expected to stick around for long. Despite the temporary winter landscape, the snowcapped peaks are a reminder of the unpredictability of nature in the Canadian Rockies.
