Winter in Ottawa
 
On sunday afternoon it rained hard enough that *I* felt I had to drive slower than the speed limit for my own safety. On the other side of the freeway... well, they had managed to bring themselves to near total gridlock anyway...
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?

NO QUARTER!!!

There is also sufficient flooding that all of the bridges between Ottawa and Gatineau are closed (as are all federal government offices on the Gatineau side of the river), and the ferries aren't running because the docks are under water. This has never happened before. Don't tell me climate change is a hoax - the evidence outside my window says otherwise.

Bridges and offices are open again, for the first time this week.
