Special Weather Statement, Vehicles In Ditches
February 07, 2008 — Hours after Cornwallites have been dealing with blowing and drifting snow Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the region. It says the storm system moving into the northeastern U.S. is producing blowing snow and near whiteout conditions at times. Some areas around the Cornwall area will see nearly 10 centimeters of snow by noon today. Motorists are being encouraged to drive extremely carefully as dangerous driving conditions may occur. An AM1220 listener in Ingleside believes they've received nearly 15 centimeters of snow and says there's extensive blowing and drifting in the area. Another listener in Maxville says she's seen several cars in the ditch. County Road 34 just north of Alexandria is down to one lane this morning after a tractor-trailer went in the ditch. The driver escaped injury.
