Even more snow to hit Ottawa on Tuesday, says Environment Canada

A low-pressure system from northern Manitoba is expected to dump 10-20 centimetres of snow on Ottawa between Tuesday and Thursday so don't put away those shovels just yet.

Manitoba, this is all your fault.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the Ottawaregion, as between 10 and 20 centimetres of snow are expected to fall between Tuesday evening and Thursday morning.

Theupcoming snowfall is being blamed on a low pressure system heading eastwards from northern Manitoba, the weather agency said.

Of course, the city is already wrapped in a wintryblanket, after 28 centimetres of snow fell on Sunday and more precipitation came downtoday.

The bulk of the next bout of snow will fall Tuesday night and on Wednesday, Environment Canada said.

As for why Environment Canada isn't issuing a warning: at no point over the next few days is more than 15 centimetres of snow forecastedto fall during a 24-hour period.
