Fog's rolling in—stay cozy indoors today, Cowtown.
It's a chilly Wednesday with a fog advisory. Bring layers, skip the rush, and catch & Juliet tonight if you're feeling it.
Morning. It's 5°C out there and dropping into that classic Calgary fog—visibility's going to be hit-or-miss, so take it easy on the commute. Nothing major on the road report, but fog means slower going and fewer shortcuts paying off. Give yourself a bit extra time, especially if you're heading through the foothills or across the SE. We're looking at mainly clear skies otherwise, which is nice, but that UV's still at 4.0—don't let the cool fool you if you're out for a stretch. Sunset's at 7:48, so you've got just over 12 hours of daylight to work with.
On the bigger beat: the NDP flipped Calgary-Shaw in a byelection this week—longtime UCP seat, 582-vote swing. That one mattered. Also worth knowing, RCMP recovered 15 firearms after break-and-enters across southern Alberta, and Alberta's tracking toward its deadliest year on roads since 2015. Drive careful out there.
On the lighter side, U of C's hosting the 2027 U SPORTS Women's Soccer Championship at McMahon Stadium, and if you've been wondering what the hype was around Pizza Culture, they just landed at 80th best pizzeria in the world on the 50 Top Pizza list—only Canadian spot on it. That's your local making noise.
If you're thinking dinner, Vietnamese breakfast culture just hit the Red Mile with An Sang, and Revelwoods Tavern opened in the SE with Southern comfort food in the old Bookers space. Nothing fancy required tonight—just warm and solid.
Evening's got & Juliet opening at the Southern Alberta Jubilee at 7:30 if you want to get out of the fog and catch some theatre. Otherwise, this is a cozy-indoors kind of day. The weather's going to keep most people tucked in, and that's perfectly fine. Oktoberfest kicks off Friday if you want something to look forward to.
Stay warm out there, watch the fog, and don't rush. See you around.
