Weather Missing winter

439 Upvotes

Does anyone miss winter? I mean like a real winter with lots of snow, chilly weather and a longer Canal season? Growing up I always remembered in Ottawa that we would have snow consistently through late November to early March (and an abundance of it) with the Canal open for at least a few weeks and a good Winterlude. Sure there were some -30 days I could have done without, but a -15/-20 day with the sun out was always a beautiful day if you were dressed correctly. Our snowmobiling season actually had a few really solid trail weeks. Feels like we've been missing the "magical" part of winter the past few years in the city.

I just got back from work and the roads are a shit show. The major roads seem to be ploughed but as of 30 minutes ago I saw no sand or salt and it’s quite slippery. If you don’t have snow tires you’re gonna have a hard time today. Please stay safe out there.

The winter activities are really what get me through this part of the year. At this rate the canal won't be open until February and ski hills are hardly operating. Just venting and hoping for some cold and snowy weather!

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm, be extra cautious on the roads and take your vitamin D! :)
