The Christmas lights look beautiful reflecting on the snow and the skiing is wonderful. However the snow began falling in November and never melted.

We have at least 3 feet of snow on the lawn, with some snowbanks pushed up by the snowplow by at least 8 feet high. If this keeps up it is going to be truly a long winter. Which is exactly what happened this year 2013\/2014. It is early April now and we still have lots and lots of snow. The Canadian polar vortex stayed with us for a long time this year.<\/p>\n<p>For more posts about Canada and Ottawa, <a href=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/category\/ottawa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ottawa Canada Winter Wonderland is already here and it is only November.
