As many of you probably know, Ottawa was hit with a huge snowstorm this weekend. Here are some photos. We even had to close down the bank that I work at early so that we could still drive.
Saturday morning, before the storm: things looked relatively normal (that giant pile of snow from the parking lot has been accumulating since November)
But yet only 24 hours later, when looking outside my door, I was faced with this:
I had to go do grocery shopping (I was the only one in the store!) and at one point instead of walking on the half-plowed road I had to step onto where the sidewalk would normally have been, and found myself well past knee-high in snow. Driving was virtually impossible, I saw an enormous number of stuck cars.
That storm almost brought Ottawa to breaking the record for snowfall that has been in place since 1971. We're now only 34 centimeters away from breaking those 441 centimeters of snow for the year. It's absolutely incredible the snow we've gotten this year!
