She's a bitch! Last night, we squeezed in one last skate before the weather was turning to crap (again) in Ottawa (so much for the All-Star weekend festivities on the canal).
It started to snow last night around 11pm and was supposed to turn to freezing rain (again) over night. It dropped about 3-4 inches of snow and proceeded to ice rain the rest of the morning; creating yet another mess of snow, ice and slush on everything. They were calling for the rain to stop by early afternoon and seeing as though I 'worked from home' today, I decided to clear the rink over lunch (and it took me the full hour). Once cleared, it kept raining and raining and raining... filling my backyard pool (mental note: I need to waterproof my boots). Now as I look out the window at 2:15 - which I like to call early afternoon (you know when precipitation was supposed to stop), THE biggest snowflakes are now falling... landing on all that standing water now sitting on my ice. This is going to glorious as it is supposed to drop to -7'C (19'F) overnight...
In short, and I know that the majority of people here will agree with me, I hate Mother Nature... she's a royal ________ (insert favourite word here)
