The first storm
WINTER STORM WATCH: City of Ottawa
AN EAST COAST LOW HAS FORMED NEAR NEW YORK AND IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY RAPIDLY TODAY BEFORE SLICING THROUGH SOUTHWESTERN QUEBEC TONIGHT. IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM AN EXPANDING AREA OF SIGNIFICANT RAIN WILL BLOSSOM ACROSS FAR EASTERN ONTARIO TODAY BEFORE CHANGING TO HEAVY WET SNOW IN MANY AREAS BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. IN A SWATH FROM OTTAWA THROUGH RENFREW TO ALGONQUIN SIGNIFICANT HEAVY SNOW WILL LIKELY SET IN LATE TODAY AND CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 15 CENTIMETRES OR MORE ARE LIKELY BEFORE IT TAPERS OFF DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY.
It’s not even November! I don’t think I’m okay with this.
Here’s my deal - I like winter. I enjoy the snow and I love being cozy inside during a storm. What I don’t like is the dirty slush that is everywhere, the minus 30 degree temperatures, the snowflakes that linger until April. Last winter was nearly a record-setter … hopefully this one won’t be quite as extreme.

I just hate that the snow is always falling on Wednesdays, when we have to be at work for layout. If it fell on a Thursday, or Friday, so we could take our time because of traffic and stuff, it wouldn’t be as bad.
The snow will be gone by Thursday anyways.
