Ottawa Ontario winter wonderland<\/p><\/div>\n

Most Canadians enjoy the winter. They take advantage of various sports activities that are made available as a result of the snow and cold weather. For example, skating, skiing, snow shoeing, etc are just some of the sports activities that Canadians will engage in. Increasingly there are many people who head south for the winter to get away from the snow and the cold. These snow birds head down before Christmas and do not come back until the end of April to get away from the snow. They really do not want to see this stuff ever. Of late, our winters have not been that bad compared to 30 years ago. Yet more and more Canadians are headed south.<\/p>\n

One person wrote this small poem and we decided to include it here for the enjoyment of readers who cannot get away or wonder why so many do go south for the winter.<\/p>\n

It’s a Canadian winter
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

And the gentle breezes blow
\nSeventy miles an hour
\nAt thirty-five below.<\/p>\n

Oh, how I love Canada and the cold weather!<\/p>\n

When the snow’s up to your butt
\nYou take a breath of winter
\nAnd your nose gets frozen shut.<\/p>\n

Yes, the weather here is wonderful<\/p>\n

So I guess I’ll hang around
\nI could never leave Canada
\nI’m frozen to the friggin’ ground!<\/p>\n

Why We leave Canada in the Winter<\/h2>\n

That’s why so many leave before it freezes. They just cannot handle the snow and ice. Having done this my self for the past 10 years I am in total agreement with all of the snow birds. I want to enjoy some of the snow and do go cross country skiing, but that is enough. We head out after New Years to Arizona and California to spend our time enjoying the sun!<\/p>\n

The best part of winter is actually March and April. It is beginning to warm up and the snow is melting. Dec, Jan and Feb can be very cold and it is really the time to avoid being in the country.<\/p>\n
