A Cold Winter Night In The City

These shots were taken on the evening of March 14th, when a heavy snowfall was coming down in Ottawa, taken in the streets of Old Ottawa South. It was the system named by some overly paranoid weather forecasters as Stella.


The following day the snow was still falling. We had about thirty four hours straight snowfall. This is a street view in the Glebe.

  8. I especially love this series and can just imagine someone having to walk home in this. Also, I can imagine the quietness.

  14. Oh it looked nasty. I like the last picture.
    We had a beautiful day yesterday.
    Early morning Monday and Skunk is back. Visits our apt front door. Neighbor across does not want it
    destroyed. It is under his Ricky old garage but it never stays on his property. I wonder if we can call the people who will take it away. If it is a bother to our apt and roaming the village.

  16. Beautiful - from afar! I love the pictures but not sure if I could live in it anymore.

  17. 34 hours of snow would be enough to make one go south in a hurry. On the other hand, you really like snow. Nice night photos.

  18. This is hard to believe even though I'm looking at the photos! My god, does it ever get nice and warm with lots of sunshine in your city? Sheesh. It's too hot here, but I do prefer warm to cold. Nice photos, though. You certainly captured the "cold" well!

  19. Oh brrr. I think by now the beauty is gone.
