freezing various parts of me right off
Jan. 14th, 2004 10:09 pmOK, to everyone who's been complaining about the heat?
We've been stuck in -25C to -35C (that's -13F to -31F) for DAYS!!! By my calculations, since about January 3 or so. I could be wrong about that, but I know it chilled a few days before the kids came back. Right now, it's a balmy -33C (-27.4F) in the nation's capital.
At least the Canal's frozen over and open for business. This weekend we can apparently hope for a high of -9C (16F) so we're taking the kids onto the ice. Every freezing cloud does have a silver lining, I guess.
Later Edit: Hey. I just went to the Rideau Canal site I linked to above. It's pretty cool - you get live webcam image of the Canal at the Mackenzie-King Bridge and Dow's Lake (which right now is not so cool, since it just shows darkness), you get a Skate The Canal ride from beginning to end, and you get a VR tour of various spots along the way. Including the place where my family and I always start, the Concord Stop, because it's close to parking and Beavertails and hot chocolate and fires. The main reason why Justin loves going to the Canal :)
