Ottawa sees record snowfall with 49 cm in one day
Previous recorded set in March 1947 with 40.6 cm of snow
Nearly 50 centimetres of fresh snow was recorded at the Ottawa airport by 6 p.m. Tuesday, breaking a record set in 1947 for snowfall in a single day. And into Tuesday evening, the snow continued to fall.
The previous recorded mark was set on Mar. 2, 1947, when 40.6 cm fell.
Closures throughout Ottawa
There were no school buses running for any of the eastern Ontario school boards except in Pembroke. Buses are still running in western Quebec. Lisgar Collegiate Institute in Ottawa was closed today because of flooding caused by burst pipes, according to the school board.
Students and their families are asked to check the school website andboard website for updates, but for now the school's website says it is expected to reopen on Wednesday.
The Ottawa Carleton District School Board said all community events and activities on school facilities have been cancelled Tuesday evening, as has the board's committee of the whole meeting scheduled for Tuesday night.
Some federal government departments such as Employment and Social Development Canada, also sent people home because of the storm. Many but not all workers were sent home at other departments, such as National Defence.
Algonquin College also closed its Ottawa and Perth, Ont., campuses.
Travel slowed
Ottawa police are reminding people to adjust their driving due to the weather, while OPP ask commuters to take their time and have warm clothes on hand in case anything goes wrong.

A winter storm warning remained in effect for the region into the evening.
Naturally, all of that snow made the morning and especially the afternoon commute a mess.
Ottawa police warned motorists against non-essential travel, pointing to 120 crashes on city roads between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m.
There is also the risk of as much as 25 to 40 millimetres of snow in the Brockville and Cornwall areas, with a risk of freezing rain and ice pellets near the St. Lawrence River, according to Environment Canada.
