Ottawa awoke to a frigid -21 C Thursday morning and morning traffic heading downtown from the west end seemed equally frozen.

The public health department has issued a frostbite advisory when the windchill dips below -25. Environment Canada reported a bitter -31 windchill.

The city’s traffic centre warned motorists of heavy and slow traffic on the long stretch of eastbound Highway 417 from Highway 416 to Rochester Street due to an early morning multi-vehicle crash near that exit.

The crash was cleared at about 7:15 a.m. but traffic remained heavy.

OC Transpo was reporting a string of cancelled trips that had bus riders waiting up to 20 extra minutes.


#FrostbiteAdvisory Continues

The key to staying warm is dressing in layers. 3 are recommended:

1–The layer closest to your skin should be clothing that wicks moisture away
2–A warm insulating layer such as a sweater/ sweatshirt
3-An outer layer that protects you wind & moisture pic.twitter.com/bp8le5eiAj
