Yesterday's blizzard shut the city down. It started Friday night and kept dumping through Saturday. We got of 51 cm (20 inches) of fresh snow in two days. That's on top of the massive blanket of white stuff we already had. This is the second-snowiest winter in Ottawa's history. And a super-snowy winter for Ottawa is serious business, because even average years are really freaking snowy. It's like the hottest summer in Phoenix, or the rainiest year in Vancouver. Extreme stuff. I'm starting to worry about our roof, especially over the unheated side room. But there's nothing we can do about it--the area is inaccessible, and trying to get up there to remove snow would be stupidly dangerous.
Anyway, here's the scene:
(Compare that last picture to these ones from December, when I first started commenting on all the snow we have. They seem like the good old days now.)

I think the reason there are no comments re these latest pictures is that all of your readers, including me, are in awe of the amount of snow. Even Hallmark doesn't make an appropriate sympathy card for your situation.
