Exactly what is an Alberta Clipper?
Alberta Clippers are quick-moving areas of low pressure that originate in the western Canadian province of Alberta, usually tapping some energy from the polar jet stream and sometimes a bit from the Pacific. The name “clipper” was coined in the 1960s and derives from the fast-moving sailing ships of the 19th century.
