The temps are coming down a bit. This weekend should be in the -10 range. I was on the canal last week and it was cold. Had to stop into Maxwell's on Elgin for a few pints and a couple of scotches before I hit the Queensway. Fucking cold it was. Not good for the hands.
My neighbour across the street plows a big area on the Ottawa River and I could skate there if I like, but his kids are young and they don't need me around, half pissed or stoned. When the wind isn't up, skiing on the river is nice. Can see clear downtown, mind you it's 20km away.But he has waterfront, and I have greenbelt, so I ski out my back door.
