Dear Weather

Happy New Years from a soggy Capital
After our brief introduction a few posts ago I thought I would direct a note to you personally to wish you all the best for the upcoming year. I for one am a big fan and certainly looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us in your bag of tricks in the upcoming year. This time of year must be pretty busy for you what with trying to work out the whole “White Christmas” thing for those that have it coming. Looks, for the most part, like you got good coverage this year. You really nailed southern Ontario before Christmas and slopped a pile more snow on our east coast friends. I’m always impressed by a good Nor-easter! They’ll be shoveling for weeks!!

Round these parts we had a pretty good start to the winter. Nothing spectacular but good coverage and I’ve gotten out on the skis in Gatineau Park most days over the last couple of weeks. Certainly don’t want to complain but seems we were caught between some of your early season storms and amassed very little base. Now that we’ve got a little warmer weather what little snow we had is melting away. Don’t have to tell you of course that it’s too early for a spring thaw! At any rate if you have a little free time over the next few days could you possibly whip an “Alberta Clipper” at us… or maybe a “Colorado Low”. Doesn’t have to be a monster but just something to tide us over while you cook up something good for February. Well, I guess that’s all for now. Hope you and Mrs. Weather had a nice holiday season and managed to get a little time to relax before getting back to the grindstone. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Kenmore

P.S. A reminder of one of your masterpieces. Skiers still sing songs about this dump of snow!!
