Photos: Clean-up underway after massive storm dumps snow on Ottawa

Plows have been out since the early hours of Thursday morning trying to clear roads and sidewalks across the city.

According to Environment Canada, the Ottawa International Airport recorded 27 centimetres of snow by 9:00 a.m. this morning. Much of Ottawa closed early last night as the impending storm travelled across the province delaying trains, planes and automobiles.

The municipality declared a “significant weather event” to use all available for the dumping of snow and to warn the public of the great risk this system poses.

As people were waking up Thursday morning they were met with bus cancellations, train delays and tall snow banks with many crews still hard at work.

Here are a few photos the winter storm impacting the nation’s capital:
