That probably means that all Ottawa school buses are cancelled.
The press can't quite figure out why buses in Ottawa get cancelled at the drop of a hat and the ones on the Dark Side almost never do. It's only across the river FFS!

The "Press" needs to do its homework, imo!

Browsing through the latest Walmart flyer I was astonished to see battered cod (produced proudly in Great Britain) with Findus on the box.
I think I've only ever seen Blue Water, Hi-Liner or store brand fish like that. Certainly never Findus.

The decision has to be made about 5 am for an area from the river to almost Kemptville and from Arnprior to almost Embrun and it tends to be an all or nothing decision. Our son is in grade 11 and his school is about 7 or 8 km via an OC Transpo schools run bus so it was cancelled yesterday. As a result, internet usage was high for the day as he was home all day. On 'snow days' it is pointless going to school as about 1/4 - 1/3 of the kids can be bothered to show up and they just play games/watch movies.
Snow shouldn't stop buses running say 10 cm - 15 cm. Freezing rain is not fun to drive in and the roads just get clogged.
When I run this province (ha) there will be one public school board..if you want religion in your school pay for it yourself.

The ice was crazy. Really had to watch closesly when out yesterday for falling ice.
Some falling off the building were large enough to shake the windows a bit.
Dog was scared most of the day from it. She never experienced falling ice and the noise it creates.

Good excuse for a cuddle! When my last lab was a puppy he was tied up to his doghouse and there was a thunderstorm and he got so scared I had to take the roof off to get him out.

people here talk about orzo, is it something horses and rabbits would like to eat?

Luckily Charlee doesn't seem to get bothered with thunder, granted we don't get much of it around here so it's not something that happens often.

Growing up we had a german shepard who did that with thunder, frozen inside her dog house and wouldn't move, like trying to move a concrete block..
