Jeez, I was hoping you'd have a rain-related retort (cliche though that
may be). Which I would have gladly responded to with "what about the
humidity?"

Ottawa has massive precipitation if you include both snow and rain :-)


If it weren't for the weather, I'd have way fewer reasons to call my
best buddy in Ottawa. What makes it particularly delicious is that he's
lived here and would love to come back. However, his wife is nth
generation Ottawa and not likely to leave.

Yeah, Ottawans are like that.

BTW, on another thread, at another time, I'd appreciate your opinion of
kayaking the Rideau and sundry other canals around Ottawa.

Heh. Just check out www.gokayaking.ca

In terms of canals "in" Ottawa, there's only one and it doesn't offer much
for paddling. But the Rideau River has some fun little trips right in town
depending on the season, and continues down to Kingston as part of the canal
system and there are lots of great trips in there.

My wife and I moved to a shoreline property on the mighty Ottawa River in
December and can't wait for the ice to go out...it's going to be amazing to
be ten seconds from getting on the water!
