It's never safe to go to Ottawa, drive somewhere better, like Montreal.

Ottawa = south. They dramatize snow to be 10x worse then what it really is. I still remember when Toronto called the army over a few inches of snow. lawls. Unless it says volcano, hurricane, tornado, very high winds, flood, or other warning that can actually be a disaster, then I would not worry about it. Though freeways may be the only dangerous place to be during a blizzard due to dumb drivers that still go the speed limit if it's unsafe. (100 in a blizzard = bad) But, does the south even get blizzards? Think it's more just heavy snow but not so much blowing snow which is the worse for visibility.
So chances are it's safe, just drive more carefully because 1: may possibly by icy, 2: other dumb drivers are probably not driving safely.

Actually I take back what I said, Just saw it on the news it's about as bad as what we'd get up here on a normal storm so I was underestimating it. I would not do highway driving in that, especially not in the south where people are not used to it. Even here when it's like this we will try to avoid the highways.

Well i left Manhattan at around 2 pm today and arrived in Ottawa at around 10:30 pm. There was no snow or ice on the roads, completely clean. Plenty of idiots though.
A all around smooth drive on summer performance tires...![]()
