The low level cold air was lot more stubborn than the models, any model, predicted. It's still -2C in Ottawa as of 11:30 AM. Forecasts are now saying it will only get up to 0 or +1 C. That remains to be seen. There is a tight temperature gradient. Bancroft, approx. 120 km to our west is -7C. Algonquin Part is -9. The cold is coming...
Freezing rain is still falling and will continue to do so intermittently for the next few hours...

About 5 cms so far
Just did the first shovel of the driveway and at least 5 cms has fallen already. Looking like another 5 to 10 before the freezing rain starts.

The ice rain
It started about 11 AM this morning in Bells Corners. There was about a 1/8 to 1/4" accumulated ice as had Barrhaven when I came home. I also heard Stittsville had significant accumulations.
I think it was a good call cancelling school this morning.
