Baby It's Cold Outside

It's bloody cold out there. Of course, I can hear my Ottawa friends snorting as I say this. "Yeah, that's a typical Ottawa winter day, you Toronto Softy".

So, it's -12 degrees Celsius with a wind chill factor of -22. Winds are northwesterly at about 30 clicks, bbbrrrr. Thank goodness ten years in Ottawa have taught me how to dress appropriately for this kind of weather. Off now to see an Ottawa friend who's in town.

It's only natural that cold weather is making me think about warmer days gone past. Here are some images that make me smile.
