Sunshine returns following winter storm
We'll see some sunshine and a few clouds today as Ottawa digs out from the first big winter storm of the season.
The city was blasted by snow, rain, and freezing rain Monday. The official totals from the Ottawa Airport include 7.6 cm of snow from Sunday through Monday and 10.4 mm of rain. Some areas may have seen greater amounts.
