Ottawa's April 2018 ice storm in pictures and video
Residents have been taking pictures and video of ice formations throughout Ottawa and Gatineau as freezing rain coats the region.
Freezing rain started to fall at the Ottawa airport around noon Sunday, and has continued since then in fits and starts. Environment Canada expects it to stop overnight.

I’d rather be wearing sandals and walking on green grass. Here is what 5 mm of freezing rain (ice) on top of 10 mm of ice pellets on top of 9 cm of snow looks and sounds like. <a href="https://twitter.com/BlacksWeather?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlacksWeather</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FreezingRain?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FreezingRain</a> <a href="https://t.co/N1ulDta80U">pic.twitter.com/N1ulDta80U</a>

Trees, power lines felled

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@OttawaMorning</a> just got in from morning run. All pathways and stairs downtown coated with thick ice. Wind blowing ice chunks from branches. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/fun?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#fun</a> <a href="https://t.co/tVwzDmob31">pic.twitter.com/tVwzDmob31</a>
