My folks have no power right now in the country (thank goodness they do have a gas fireplace, so they can run that without electricity) up here in the city it’s deathly quiet, people are asked to avoid the streets at all costs. For a day that would typically be a bustling Sunday filled with shopping, we’re all tucked (safely) at home. Ottawa is seeing one of the worst snow storms in 20 years, and we already had plenty of snow on the ground to begin with.

That car is parked on my street, well, there’s a street there some place though it’s hard to make it out. The snow isn’t supposed to stop until later on tonight, so I hope that person remembered where they parked!

Typically, from this view, I can see the Ottawa River, and a huge shopping mall and a fairly good distance away. However with all the snow falling I’m lucky that I can see the giant field right across the street from my building.
I live in Canada, and yes, I’m used to snow. We get it every year of course. However, this year has been one of the more.. interesting.. as far as accumulations go. I’m not going to say I’m sick of it, quite yet, but if anyone wants to come and take some of the snow? Please, feel free.
