While its still novel:

Temperature: -5deg C (-12deg with wind) with 10-15cm snowfall today. Its been snowing since some time last night solidly through to about 1pm today, and its just started up again now.

View across the Ottawa river to Victoria Island.


Rideau Canal gets emptied out every year. When the surface freezes over they drive a truck onto the ice in order to sink the crust, and get the new layer to freeze, thus allowing them to open it up to ice skating further up. However I'm told that almost every year they don't quite get it right, and the truck will sink into the canal. Oh, yes I will be skating...


One day I'll learn to go out in the cold with several tissues. Can you see the fear in the eyes? Oh yes, its there...

Icicles. I like it.
