On Monday, Jan. 17, a winter storm blew through Ontario. By the end of the day, around 48 centimetres of snow had fallen across Ottawa, according to Environment Canada. Shortly after the storm passed, photographer Ellen Bond captured scenes from our local winter wonderland. Stay warm, Kitchissippi!
