The first blast of nasty winter weather hit the Ottawa Valley this morning. Area OPP is urging all drivers to stay alert, slow down, and stay in control. On your way to work this morning, give yourself extra time to reach your destination and drive according to the road conditions. Weather conditions will improve throughout the day today as temperatures rise to 4 degrees. The Renfrew County Joint Transportation Consortium says that only school buses in Zone 4 of the Madawaska are canceled this morning due to the weather, however, the schools are still open to staff and students.
