Good morning, Ottawa.
There are NO freezing rain warnings, NO cold warnings, NO winter storm warnings, NO freaking "special weather statements." NO "loose tyrannosaur" warnings, no "Thanos is about to snap his fingers" warnings.
NOTHING!
(But there are flurries.)
We are LIVE at the scene on the 417 where the presence of a moose has been creating significant slowdowns.
The moose appears to have been wounded.
A warning that this video may be disturbing to some.
