Alerts in effect for Ottawa, ON
Winter Storm Warning
Issued by Environment Canada at 2:12 PM EDT Thursday 11 April 2013
Summary
A wintery combination of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain on the way. Colder air has moved into the region and is coinciding with an approaching low currently over Illinois. Some snow and ice pellets accumulated to a few centimetres this morning but has become patchy now. The main precipitation is expected tonight. It is expected to be predominantly ice pellets and freezing rain and may fall heavy at times. It should taper off by Friday morning with temperatures rising above freezing. Although roads may tend to be slippery, of greater concern is the risk of widespread power outages due to downed tree limbs and power lines from significant ice accumulation combined with northeast winds gusting to 60 km/h. There is a risk that this could be a major ice storm. For regions east of Georgian Bay towards Eastern Ontario including the nation Capital region, snow mixed with ice pellets is expected to begin tonight and continue through much of Friday. The majority of the precipitation should be ice pellets with some snow, with up to 10 to 15 centimetres expected. Freezing rain is also a threat for these regions, although it is not expected to be as widespread as regions farther to the south.
