I can't believe I'm saying this. . .

. . .but I wish it was colder. We've had a long spell of mild-for-Ottawa-in-January weather, and it's wrecking winter. The Canal is closed indefinitely, so no more skating. Days of daytime temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, coupled with frequent snowfall, mean the sidewalks are a slick, slushy, feet-soaking mess, and the roads are no better. Things aren't looking good for the big Winterlude festival that kicks off the first week of February.

Having said that, I'm sure we'll get hit by an Arctic front that will kick temperatures down to bone-chilling levels for several weeks. But at least I asked for it!
