Snowman Visits Arnprior

A Very Large Snowman is visiting Arnprior

-Arnprior, Friday, January  22, 2010.

A very tall visitor to Arnprior didn’t say much, but when asked, “Is it cold enough for you?” He did respond with a broad smile.

Our roving photographer caught the visitor on the corner of Elgin And Madawaska Streets, with the Town Hall in the background.

Freezing Rain on Boxing Day

-Arnprior, Ontario, Canada. Boxing Day (December 26, 2009)

Arnprior was a skating rink this morning. Our poor dog had a heck of a time trying to find a nice, flat, and rough enough so his feet didn’t fly out from under him… spot to take his morning pee.

Anyway, the photo was taken looking East from just outside the TVCOGECO studio on Madawaska Street (kind of one of the back doors of the Town Hall.) (except the studio no longer connects with the rest of the lower floor of the building.)

The soundtrack was classical music from CBC-2.

They Say it might Rain For Christmas ????

-Arnprior, Ontario, Canada. Christmas Eve, 2009.

It’s bitter cold in the Nation’s Capital Region (and we’re just west of the Greater Ottawa City Limits) (at least until a dis-amalgamation happens. Big “IF”)

So it’s kind of strange that after a couple weeks of bitter cold, they’re forecasting possible rain on Christmas Day or Boxing Day.

We’ll have to see.
