Winterlude by janika
Here, on this sign you can see a warning. This is one of the Crystal Garden's entrances. Enlarge the picture and read it. Just be careful and watch where you step. Try to avoid running and jumping around. Leave a Comment Phone: 1-800-465-1867

If you are planning a trip here during the Winter months...November to March...be prepared to battle SNOW...or embrace it...if thats your preference but you need to know that it can pile up quickly ..and temperatures can be dangerously cold!
We have just had a record amount of snowfall for the month of December...since Environment Canada started to keep records in 1938.As of December 25th the total accumulation for the month was 150 cm....including a 24 hour period from the 16th to the 17th of December when we received a 37 cm Blessing!
The City operates for all intensive purposes but things SLOW down considerably...Airlines,trains and buses do they're best BUT "weather delays" are all a part of life in the Great White North....so if you're here when an event like this happens...hopefully you have a comfortable place to sit and wait until things return to normal...often within 24 hours!

 Ottawa Summer (LOL!!) by Wolverine_13Leave a Comment

The streets can be very slippery and slushy in any Canadian city during winter time. Bring a good pair of shoes - preferably non-slip, waterproof shoes. Don't forget hat, gloves and a warm coat!
Though most pedestrian walk ways are plouged and salted, watch out for ice and falling icicles from roof tops. Leave a Comment

 A snowy Nicholas (from Rideau) by pieter_jan_v
Driving is OK after snowfall, the streets will be swept clear. Watch out for so called BLACK ICE! Also the low sun in combination with snow often blocks your view on the road.
Walking is often tricky as the walkways are poorly swept and turn into slippery paths.

Don't forget when you are visiting Ottawa you are still in Canada and it can get cold. I visited in January of 2007 and under dressed. It made for some cold walks around downtown.
In January I would bring a hat, some gloves and warm sweater and coast. Good boats and they put salt on the sidewalks so you can ruin a good pair of new shoes if your not comfortable. I know that is important to the ladies to like shoes!
Don't worry about the cold, just be prepared. Without the cold you can't do all the other fun things in Ottawa like skating the Rideau Canal. During a visit up the Peace Tower the elevator attendant was excited it finally cooled down so she could soon start skating. Leave a Comment
