Severe thunderstorm warning issued; hailstorm brings winter to Barrhaven

[guest]

Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the Ottawa area that said hail of two to three centimetres in diameter was possible in Kanata, Ottawa North and Orléans.

The storm could accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain.

The warning was issued at 5 p.m., even though an brief, intense summer storm already pelted parts of Barrhaven with hail on Wednesday afternoon.

The icy burst lasted about three minutes, but covered parts of the suburb in icy, pea-sized pellets.

Holy hail, it’s icy out there! #barrhaven @weathernetwork pic.twitter.com/ZfXVP9CG49

So that was some pretty crazy weather that just went through Barrhaven. The amount of hail on the ground made it look like winter!
