All School Busses Cancelled
Heavy Rain a threat now.....

The freezing rain overnight was enough to cancel all busses in our area this morning including Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and City of Ottawa. We received a good 5-10mm of ice that has coated everything outside. Roads are a mess with hard packed ice in the center lanes. In addition even though it is above freezing the rain that is falling on any untreated surface is still freezing on contact.

Our attention now shifts to the threat of minor flooding and then strong winds. A Wind Warning is in effect for the St. Lawrence Valley on both sides of the border in Ontario, Quebec and NY. Winds will gust form 50-90km/h beginning this afternoon. In addition Heavy Rain Warnings have been posted for Southern Quebec. From 30-50mm of rain is possible, enough to cause flooding where catch basins are blocked. Area rivers will have to be closely monitored. Roads are terrible this morning....slow down......
