ollie Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 The Snowbowl stage is located on the canal, at the foot of the hill behind the National Arts Centre. If you're standing on the Mackenzie King Bridge looking towards the Chateau Laurier you can't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Do you think He'll still go on? Last time I was out it was incredibly windy (pushing me around a bit), seems like a pretty strong storm out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Same here, I'm heading out alone as well. I work for the city of ottawa (website, ottawa.ca) so I'll keep my eyes open all day. So far I haven't heard anything.February 17, 2006Canada’s Capital Region -- The NCC has temporarily closed Snowflake Kingdom located in Jacques-Cartier Park, in Gatineau. The recent freezing rain has rendered the site unsafe for visitors.Weather permitting, the NCC and the Ville de Gatineau will reopen the park tomorrow, Saturday, February 18, 2006, as of 9 am, and the Ice Hog family will be waiting to welcome the throngs of Winterlude festival-goers. Activities in Confederation Park, home of the Casino du Lac-Leamy Crystal Garden, and at the [color:red]American Express Snowbowl continue as scheduled. The Rideau Canal Skateway is open today from Laurier Bridge to Dows Lake. Please note that the ice surface conditions are poor.For further information, contact the NCC at (613) 239-5000, 1 800 465-1867, or visit our website by following the link below.Link below is this From here Edited February 17, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Our here in Kanata, it looks a lot better: 15 or 20 minutes ago, it was a raging blizzard, but now (11:45am) it's cleared up considerably, with a lot less snow, and winds that are a lot calmer.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Here in Nepean she's still raging. According to the Weather Network: FRIDAYAFTERNOON FRIDAYEVENING FRIDAYOVERNIGHT SATURDAYMORNING TEMPERATURE -5°C -11°C -19°C -18°C CONDITION A few flurries Cloudy periods Isolated flurries Cloudy periods P.O.P. 40% 10% 30% 10% FEELS LIKE -15 -20 - -29 WIND W 45 km/h W 25 km/h W 10 km/h NW 25 km/h HUMIDITY 51% 57% 100% 61% SNOW Trace - less than 1 cm - Yeah, I'm bored. Looks like the snow will stop but the wind will keep up. This is Ottawa, the windiest place I've ever lived. I've heard people here claim it's calm out when at the same time I'm thinking about the fairly strong breeze so 25k/hr shouldn't bother ottawaonians. PS: I called the NCC and they said the show's on. I said even with weather like this and she said yup, rain or shine, it's on. Edited February 17, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Then we're all fucked Cool. It's been a while for me. Looking out my 5th floor window Northwards, I see moderately clear sky (it's pale blue, without distinct clouds per se) all the way to the horizon. There's no snow, and moderate winds (the trees are swaying back and forth a bit). Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
