More weather

Yesterday was, apparently, the coldest day in ten years in Ottawa - the thermometer was showing -25, but with the wind chill, it was feeling around -40 degrees. I was well wrapped up - it's cold enough that bare skin can get frostbite in just a couple of minutes, which would obviously not be a good thing - but boy, could you feel it when the wind started gusting. Today was a little warmer, and the weekend should be a much more reasonable -10. There's also a warmer spell coming at the start of next week, though the weather forecasters are currently warning that we're in for a lot of snow then, too. Now that's proper winter weather.
