The official risks and warnings were for as much as 25 to 40 centimetres of snow in the Brockville and Cornwall areas, PLUS the likelihood of freezing rain and ice pellets near the St. Lawrence River. Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators went ahead with their scheduled NHL regular season game against the Buffalo Sabres at the Canadian Tire Centre but they did warn fans that it’s awful out so please leave a lot of extra time if you are going to venture out in this. This is very similar to my January 22nd episode called “The 334 Club”; that played out for the New Jersey Devils. Learn more about your ad choices.

February 16 - Another Snowfall Record for Ottawa!

"This Day In Weather History" is a daily podcast from The Weather Network that features unique and informative stories written and produced by host Chris Mei. Weather happens every day. It can be sunny, cloudy, stormy or maybe just unsettled, but it is always happening! It’s when severe weather strikes that it captures the attention of those affected…and the imagination of everyone else who follows the story. So it is with good reason to expect that after over a century of news and weather information gathering and record keeping, there would be a "special" weather or natural phenomena event to mark each day of a calendar. Do you remember the first recorded tornado in Canadian history? No, you don’t because none of us were there...so we dive into that! How about when Prince played the Super Bowl halftime show? It’s possibly the best performance ever for that event….and the backstory made it all the more special! Or how about the 25th Anniversary Woodstock Festival back in 1994? It’s all here - all year - in one podcast.... "This Day In Weather History"!
