It rained last night.  Freezing rain.  And then the temperature rose a bit above freezing, so basically all day it rained.  Which is absolutely horrid for the Rideau Canal Skateway!  And the ski hills at that.  Now I’m not sure if I can go skiing tomorrow night (which was the plan) or on Saturday (which was a hope).

I am really wondering what they do now with the canal.  Do they have to wait for another 2 weeks of below -10 C weather before they can let people on it again?

Although on another note, rain is kind of nice at this time.  It is just nice to have a bit of variety in the winter.  It just kind of plays havoc on all the norms in Ottawa during the winter.
