Skating on the canal - well, Dow's Lake technically - did not go as gracefully as my imagination had played out. No misadventures, but I don't think I'll make the hockey team this year....Man it was cold though. I couldn't stay on the ice for longer than an hour, and that's with the warming characteristics of hot chocolate and Beaver Tails. (I was too scared to stand by the fire blazing away on top of the ice - but for how long....)
Snow sculptures in Gatineau (just over the Ottawa River), pretty amazing.
Oh, and Beaver Tails are not literally beaver tails in this case. They're deep fried pastry similar to a long flat beaver tail shape, covered in cinnamon and sugar. Awefully naughty, but with the cold it could have been life and death...
