Blowing snow advisory and wind warnings continue

After a blustery Sunday night, Enviornment Canada has issued a blowing snow advisory this Monday morning for Ottawa-Gatineau, Cornwall, Prescott-Russell, Brockville, South Frontenac County, Bancroft, Renfrew County and Deep River region. Flurries and strong westerly winds with gusts up to 80 km/h will make travel hazardous with low visibility.

County Rd-17, between #Alfred and #L'Orignal should reopen shortly after a 10 vehicle pileup in blowing snow. 10 people were transported to hospital, some with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Whiteouts are still being reported in some areas. #otttraffic ^bd pic.twitter.com/bCSLO8T6lk

 A wind warning continue for Sydenham, Kingston, Napanee and the Picton area. Strong and damaging winds, up to 90 km/h are expected. Higer wind gusts are expected along the shores of Lake Ontario. Power outages, trees and structures are reported to be down across the region.

The damaging winds will diminish later in the morning.

Stay safe on the roads as the heavy winds are causing whiteout conditions in some parts of the city.
