| Ottawa gets hit by snow February 8, 2013 |
I had no idea the weather gods read my
blog. Honestly, I didn’t even think they had a computer, let alone
Internet access.

| Ottawa on January 6, 2013 |
Four weeks ago, I wrote on this blog “Imiss winter.” The area where I live was going through an
exceptional warm spell in mid-January. We lost a lot of snow, and I
love snow. I love winter sports like skiing and skating. I love the
feeling of cold air on my face as my body is wrapped in warm winter
clothing.
I find a lot of inspiration in winter,
too: in falling snow, in ice-covered fields, snow-laden evergreen
branches. Winter is powerful, majestic and magical.
So, I wrote “I miss winter.” And
winter came back. What does that say about the power of the written word?
The whole family is now enjoying being
outside. The ice-sculptures at Ottawa’s Winterlude aren’t melting
on the spot, for once.
But to all those digging out after the
storm, the combination of an Alberta Clipper and a Texas Low that
walloped half of North America on Friday and Saturday; to everyone
stranded in an airport, to all who sat in a car or a truck in a
traffic jam for hours; to anyone who: I’m sorry.
Next time, I’ll blog about how much I
miss winning big in a lottery.
Snow snow go away... ! Here in BC we do not have snow and I am glad as it makes the roads dangerous..
ReplyDeleteBy all means, stay off the roads when it's snowing. Go skiing instead - you're in BC!
