Cold!

The weather report for Ottawa this morning is clear, with a temperature of minus 25ºC which "feels like" minus 39ºC, because of the 30kph wind. In these conditions any exposed human skin will freeze in 10 minutes, so best be careful. We did go out for a walk last night, thoroughly covered in layers, to see the full moon lightly veiled in clouds over the Rideau River.

For this morning's post I found a cold looking view of the Ottawa River's north bank in January 2009 (very similar to now). The steam rises from a lumber factory on the Quebec side. A little "Arctic Smoke" as mentioned in my last post is visible, rising from a patch of open water in the river.
