The weather was a hot topic on the web, one story in particular, said CTV News Northern Ontario digital specialist Chelsea Papineau.
"We covered a lot of topics and one of the stories that stood out was a big snowstorm," she said.
The storm hit parts of northeastern Ontario on April 1, bringing up to 50 centimetres of snow and messy roads.
"We had major road closures, and it was really an example of how Canadians come to us for our news, what's going on, what's happening," said Papineau.
Stories about scams happening in our region were also popular, Papineau added.
