The BIG snowstorm on Wednesday, February 27, pretty much brought Ottawa to a halt. Hundreds of city buses had to be towed, leaving public transit commuters stranded in blizzard-like conditions. City plows worked around the clock to keep the roads passable. Cars in ditches, everywhere. What a mess!

But, as we all know, there are two sides to every coin. Here are some photos that show the beauty and peaceful side of winter–all taken from my front and back porches.

And, back to the other side of the coin…

My car

 Spring, sweet spring is just around the corner…at least we hope so.

We are all wintered out!
