Whither Winter Weather?

Posted by Ali-G (Ottawa, Canada) on 9 January 2007 in Landscape & Rural.

Another day of plus zero temperature in the nations's capital - never mind the land that time forgot, this is the town that winter forgot. And the world's longest skating rink? Bring your Wellies! A couple more weeks of this and it'll be doubtful whether there will be any skating at all along the 7 kilometre canal. So as long as we are giving winter a pass, i thought i'd skip spring and summer and jump right into fall. Gatineau Park just across the river from Ottawa - and the colours really are this vibrant.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. - Albert Camus
