A low pressure system originating along the Gulf coast intensified
into a major winter storm as it tracked up along the Appalachians
into Southern Quebec Tuesday evening. This winter storm brought huge
amounts of snow to a swath from Kingston to Ottawa along with heavy
freezing rain to extreme Eastern Ontario including Cornwall.

The incredibly heavy 51 cm/20 inches snowfall at Ottawa Airport is a new
largest 1 day snowfall amount on record for that location.

Snowfall amounts further west in the Greater Toronto area were in
the 5 to 10 centimetre range, as this area was only grazed the
western edge of the huge snow shield associated with this winter
storm.

All winter storm and snow fall warnings have since been ended as the
storm moves quickly away over the Province of Quebec.

Below is a summary of snowfall amounts received as of 1 AM today:

Ottawa Airport 51 cm
Gatineau Airport 34 cm as of 9 PM Tuesday
Casselman 35 cm as of 6 PM Tuesday
Moose Creek 21 cm as of 6 PM Tuesday
Cornwall 25 cm plus 20 mm of freezing rain
Brockville 35 to 40 cm estimated
