Currently (09:45EST) -17°F in Ottawa - we don't expect to get to 0°F until around midnight. And the forecast says it'll drop below 0°F again Monday night (roughly when it should stop snowing). I've got the furnace on full blast plus a spot electric heater going to get the temperature above 68°F inside. The city's declared a frostbite warning. The homeless shelters are at capacity.

Around here, 0°C / 32°F is a memory, or a dream for the future... but that's January and February in Ottawa for you.

Ignore that last sentence. It's currently -4°C and raining, and the temperature is going up overnight to +2°C. It'll drop to +1°C tomorrow, then plunge to -24°C tomorrow night.

I am so glad that (a) I already have (most of) a big bin of ice melter, and (b) I booked this week off as well as last week. I do not envy everyone else in town going back to work tomorrow and driving home on frozen roads.
