Snow in Ottawa. So What's New?

Thursday night we had our first "major" snow storm (in NY it would probably be called a blizzard). About 15 centimeters fell -ever since I got here I've been talking metrics like a Canadian. don't even ask me what the weather is I only know Celsius- The guys who went on the Lech Lecha trip got the worst of it though. It took them 20 hours to get to Baltimore. They went through some scary snow, ice, and rain storms.


Our trusty little heater Steve keeping us warm through the storm. (what's in between Steve and the window are in case of emergency)

One thing this City gets credit for is their snow removal operation. Because here the snow doesn't melt they collect and cart it off in dump trucks. In this picture there's a snow plow and a dump truck driving simultaneously. it was pretty cool actually.
