All school buses for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, as well as the Catholic and French boards, have been cancelled this morning as heavy snow continues to fall.
School remain open, but meteorologists advise that motorists be careful on the road as blowing snow will cause poor visibility.
Many flights both in and out of the Ottawa International Airport have also been cancelled. Travellers are advised to contact their airline for possible delays or cancellations.
Roads in Ottawa are said to be “treacherous” as OC Transpo reported up to 20-minute delays as of 7:15 am.
The city has also issued an overnight parking ban for tonight from 1a.m. until 7a.m.
