This MIGHT be the last Friday without snow on the ground....until Spring.

Warm today.  Sun & a high of 10 in Edmonton.
Increasing cloud and a high of 6 Saturday.
Use this time to put away the patio furniture and clean up the yard.

Snow starts late afternoon or early evening Saturday and continues through most of the day Sunday.
It looks like it should taper off later in the day Sunday and then the cool air sinks in.

Last year, Edmonton had snow in mid October that came & went.
We had snow Nov 1/2 and THAT melted too.
Then...on November 8th, the snow fell & STAYED.

This year, the "staying snow" might hit even earlier.
Sunday is November 3rd and if we get the 10-20cm of snow that I think we will, it's probably not going anywhere.

Travel could be dicey.  Wind will pick up & blow that snow around on Sunday, so icy roads & reduced visibility will be a problem.
Last weekend was just the "warm-up".  This looks like it'll be the real deal.
Models are converging on a solution & it appears that the heaviest snow will be in the mountains & foothills (due to upsloping).
The heaviest band of snow outside of the foothills will stretch east along or near Highway 16.
The snow totals map I've attached is the 6z GFS.  We'll take a look at some of this afternoon's models in the WxBlast VIDEO this afternoon.
I think that map is overdoing the snow totals a bit, but it gives you a good idea of where the snow is likely to fall heaviest this weekend.

Could this still change?  Yes.  But, I don't think it'll change enough to put Edmonton OUT of the snow zone.
At this point, I'm thinking 10-20cm of snow by the end of Sunday.
