I’m home for the holidays. On my run this morning I endured one of Ottawa’s first snowfalls of the season – remarkable considering this time of year usually brings skaters to the river and snowmen to people’s yards. As I look out of my window, I can see the river tossing around, whitecapped and windblown. The trees, now a couple of hours after this morning’s dusting, are barely showing any snow on their boughs. It’s simply not freezing out there.

What kind of Winter will Ottawa have?

I’m going to aim for a blog post every day while home. I’m so grateful for this time off and so grateful to be together with my family. C is home (for good!) from Japan. Totamo sugoi.

The last time I was home was Thanksgiving weekend. October was also unseasonably warm with a high on Thanksgiving Day of 28 degrees. I wore a tshirt in the mountains.
