Considering we are expecting 10-15 cm of snow starting at 1600 hrs today and then a melt and rain tomorrow, this planned season opening for the Rink of Dreams in #Ottawa today may be a bit ill-timed. It usually has to be closed for both snowfall and rain.

and for people wondering how we keep the sidewalks working here in #Ottawa, here is a sidewalk plow and salter.
Freezing rain possible tonight into Tuesday morning.
Hazard:
Freezing rain. Ice accretion on some surfaces.Timing:
Tonight into Tuesday morning.Discussion:
A low pressure system could bring freezing rain to the area beginning tonight. Temperatures in the affected area are forecast to hover around zero degrees Celsius overnight and Tuesday morning. As a result, ice accretion on the ground and road surfaces is expected to be variable as the ground is still relatively warm. However, icy conditions are possible, especially on elevated surfaces like bridges, overpasses and untreated roadways.The Algonquin area may also receive 5 to 10 cm of snow locally by Tuesday.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.
