Ottawa is currently undergoing cleanup after experiencing a snowfall of 12 centimeters. The city faced significant disruptions, with an overnight parking ban implemented in anticipation of an additional 15-20 centimeters of heavy, blowing snow. Environment Canada announced that the snow is expected to end after midnight. The storm caused various issues including road closures, school cancellations, and a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in Scarborough. Other regions are also affected by winter weather, with snow squalls leading to bus cancellations in Barrie, and Saskatoon activating an expanded winter emergency plan due to a deep freeze forecast. The weather has impacted transportation, with highway crashes near Strathroy and the reopening of roads after multiple accidents. Ottawa's public transit is operational, including school buses, while Montreal faces a public transit strike. The snowstorm's impact extends beyond Canada, with reports of earthquakes, floods, and other weather-related events across North America and internationally.
