Melterlude

The big winter festival kicks off tomorrow, and today it is. . .raining. Pretty hard. We're in the midst of one of Ottawa's mildest winters in decades. Needless to say, this puts a damper on outdoor winter fun--literally! Since the festival runs throughout the month of February, I guess there's still a chance the weather will turn cold again and we'll be able to visit the playground made out of snow and the snow sculptures and all that good stuff. But today, it doesn't look good.
