One More Sleep...


...and then we're off. Unfortunately, it looks like we're not gonna make it away from Ottawa unscathed. Looks like we're gonna get a dump of about 5-10 cm of snow overnight tonight, with flurries during the day Monday.

It shouldn't be enough to cause us travel problems, but we were hoping to miss the snow altogether this year - at least until we got back after new year. But if we've learned anything living in Canada it's that there's very little you can do to about winter weather, so you might as well try to find the bright side. That's one of the reasons we bought snow shoes this year - to try to 'embrace' the snow.

And the bright side of a snow storm before we leave? It will just make the arrival in 30+ degree weather that much sweeter.

Okay, that's enough of a break - gotta get back to the pre-departure checklist now.
