Severe thunderstorm warning ends; hailstorm brings winter to Barrhaven

Environment Canada has ended a severe thunderstorm warning for the Ottawa area.
The news release had also stated that hail of two to three centimetres in diameter was possible in Kanata, Ottawa North and Orléans.
The warning had been issued at 5 p.m., even though an brief, intense summer storm had already pelted parts of Barrhaven with hail on Wednesday afternoon.
The icy burst lasted about three minutes, but covered parts of the suburb in icy, pea-sized pellets.
 Holy hail, it&
