I come from Ottawa west (inside greenbelt) to Hull, average twice a week all winter, should do better this year with some work changes. I found some decent routes on the bike Ottawa winter biking gmaps layer.

I get mine in the spring - side of the road or kijiji. One pair 622x35, one 26x2.0. $25 total so far.
Those seem like an odd size though. If I was going past 2" I would think about fat bike to ride unplowed snow - on paved streets and sidewalks I have never wanted more than my 35s.
