Sundown on the Ottawa River

Okay El Nino, you’re just screwing with me now!

I probably shouldn't write a blog at 3:00 a.m. This is what happens when I'm tired and grumpy:


Every year that I can remember having an El Nino weather effect, it was warm here in Canada. So what's the deal with this bitter cold fall/winter so far? Freezing my buttocks off is not how I envisioned this season. I expected at least a few days with warm, mind comfortable short sleeve weather.



And what do you have to say: Mr. Al-Gorebal Warming. What’s up with this lasting cold spell? I don’t mind choking on gas fumes if you can promise me a warm cozy winter. I believe in climate change, but it should be working in our favour. It’s supposed to be warmer now, isn’t it? I’m beginning to hallucinate that I’m stranded on a desert island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, but in reality, I’m completely surrounded by huge banks of snow. How long do you expect us to hold out? And yes, I’m referring to all of us forgotten Canadians who have to suffer year after year, pretending to love the great outdoors in the winter, when really we hate it. Hate it I tell you! Can’t stand it much longer! I want answers! I want the truth! I can’t handle the truth!
