@EdwinG Hmmm, so the cbc decided to not mention that the “snowy forecast” is actually for heavy snowfall at about the time students go home. But the transport agencies are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

@EdwinG cancel school buses for 10cm? Really ? So you force parents to drive kids to/from school increasing traffic.

@jfmezei It’s the heavy snowfall (2cm/h)

@EdwinG Ottawa only has a grey alert. And they cancel school buses? This is Canada where men are men and not afraid of a measly 10cm. Especially when Env Canada rarely deliver in their promises of much snow.
