Yes, that's it. You may be right, I'm terribly derelict in that regard, we do have a UPS but the battery's been dead since, I dunno, the mid-90s maybe.

  • 25cm+ in TO will cause general chaos and consternation
  • Souv's winter snowfall prediction for Ottawa starts to look a little more shaky

Happy Shovelling!

Hmmm, just been out for a smoke and noted sporadic deposition of what at first glance appear to be small particles of frozen water. Could this be snow? (It's been so long, I forget).

I hope I'm not stranded in Campbellford. If I were I would be grateful for some Tuborg.

Still no snow here
