Welcome to winter.
Tuesday morning features snow-covered roads, a hydro outage and school bus cancellations in outlying areas. And yes, schools are open today.
The City of Ottawa’s traffic centre is warning of disruptions in the area of Kars, Manotick, North Gower and Osgoode due to a power outage that Hydro One reports is affecting 5,800 customers. Power wasn’t expected to be restored until well into the morning commute.
Meanwhile, Ottawa school buses set out as usual but service to some schools in outlying areas, including those heading to Upper Canada District School Board and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, are cancelled.
A traffic hotspot in the early going on the Quebec side: Motorists reported that Hwy. 5 southbound was jammed at Haute Pleine and drivers were using the emergency turnarounds to give up on their morning commute.
Motorists took to Twitter to offer traffic updates.
“Hey Kanata! If you aren’t already on the 417 heading east you might want to think twice,” warned one. “Work from home if you can.” Added another, “plow parade is out on the eastbound 417 near Bayshore. Doesn’t seem to be making a difference to traffic speed though.”
OC Transpo warned that the weather might cause service delays and cancelled a string of trips. The Ottawa airport listed a few cancelled flights.
A poem for this weather advisory :
Snow is blanketing the City.
Road conditions are becoming slippery.
Please drive slowly,
And keep your distance carefully.
Your Paramedics will appreciate greatly.

And the forecast? More snow.
At least one tweeter saw the cosmic picture.
If you ever doubt the power of collective action, consider what a bunch of teeny tiny
snowflakes, working together, do to Ottawa traffic! #otttraffic #onstorm
