You forget to understand that Canada is HUUUUGE. That how you can have now -31C up north, while +8C in Vancouver.

My God, this is a lot of snow and cold.

What temperature?

How is life with so much snow?

I live in Brazil, here is always hot in my city is the winter of 8°C to 18ºC on average. In the coldest cities in Brazil can reach -10ºC, the Brazilian record is -17.8°C, these places have snow, even if little.

Ottawa has a rough climate in the winter. It gets awful cold and snowy there. I'm in London, Ont and it's bad enough here. Watching this on Labour Day weekend dreading this is only a few months away again!!!

This may have been the most intense and ferocious snowstorm ever in Ottawa due to the cold temperatures, strong winds, and very, ver heavy snow, especially between 10am and 4pm when the snow was pouring, not falling.

I live in Indiana and this reminds me how happy I am winter is over with. We get snow like this a lot in the winter but Im sure its much worse in Canada. Unless you like winter sports, the only good thing about winter weather is that it can cancel school and work. Otherwise, winter weather is truly a real pain in the ass. God Im thrilled its spring now.

God that sucked. I had an exam downtown that morning (yes, a Sunday Morning) and the drive back home that usually takes 25 minutes took an hour and 45 minutes. The road, sky, and everything between were all completely white... the only thing you could see were the tail lights of the person in front of you. I would have driven off the road for SURE if there hadn't been someone to follow all the way home!

Welcome to what has been an almost everyday occurance in our lovely city since end of October! Thanks John Davidson, well done, it's great (well we are looking forward to spring two months round the corner...)
