12:45 Storm Update

Ottawa has reported over 25cm of snow in the last 12 hours and it is still snowing. This now has become the second snowiest winter on record in Ottawa at 350cm with 441 the record set in 1970-71. Snow is still falling in Kemptville and will for several hours with blowing snow. Kemptville has had over 20cm of snow and ice pellets.

Above right is a photo by reporter Chris Hofley of another driver going too fast for the conditions and ditching it on the 416 northbound in Ottawa South. The photo below I took this morning of snow clearing operations at the Kemptville Mall. The pile on the right is now several stories high now with little place left to put more snow.

Another major storm is on the way for Saturday...stay tuned for that.
