Wanna try something different? Alberta has another system of relaying weather information. We start with weather radio broadcasts. These frequencies fall into a band known as VHF (very high frequency) and you will need special radio equipment to hear them. Or you can use the phone numbers for recorded weather information in English. How to find weather info for these places on the Alberta map.
