Snow began falling unseasonably late in Calgary this year, but the city finally got a big dump last night, leaving commuters with a slippery drive to work on Monday.

The sudden snow caught some drivers off guard. As many as 117 crashes were reported between midnight and noon throughout the city, police said. Twelve of the collisions resulted in injuries, while 10 involved cases of hit-and-run.
