Ontario Provincial Police say they've been kept busy by a steady stream of minor traffic accidents as heavy snow falls over the region. "We're just encouraging people as we always do, whenever we have a snow event, you know — see snow, go slow," said Bill Dickson, spokesperson for the OPP. Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for the Ottawa area, as well for Maniwaki, Que. We are still on track for a total between 15-25 cm here in Ottawa with snow, at times heavy, tapering to intermittent snow by pm/eve. Other parts of eastern Ontario, like Pembroke, Ont., can expect light precipitation with heavy snow mixed in, according to Environment Canada.
