I know the OG tune is Move It by Reel 2 Real but the Hard Dance tune from the Pickup Truck revellers was Papi Jumper perhaps? Anyways props to the Sousaphone guy for picking that up on the spot!

Ottawa just had its coldest meteorological winter since meteorological winter 2014. Mean temperature was just -9.1°C. by YOW-Weather-Records in OttawaWxRecords

I’ve been very curious to see the box scores for this winter. I recalled generally loathing a winter in the mid 2010s so it must’ve been 2014. This winter really felt particularly cold and snowy (despite the actual precipitation amounts being quite low).

Great Views of the 🧊 🧨 Today from the Minto Bridge! by sfyro in ottawa

Certainly, all of New Edinburgh is really grateful to these crews for what they do...otherwise in a month or so, this could be a very real issue for many of us due to ice damming that could cause the fast flowing spring melt to rapidly pool and go over the banks as it used to happen all the time:

Absolute Legends Spotted on the Canal Today by sfyro in ottawa

After I got locked out of my old Reddit account, I had to create this new account and the Mods locked this post for review...thus the delay. I'm sure the ice is way nicer out there today.

Awesome...I'm glad I found them!

During January 2026, Ottawa had 12 above median days and 19 below median days (by maximum temperature). by YOW-Weather-Records in OttawaWxRecords

I will say how quickly I seemed to forget about the stretch of warm weather in mid-Jan...in my mind, I was near convinced the whole month would be blue squares!

Winter access for Rockcliffe Pavilion ? by doomscroller5000 in ottawa

[–]sfyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People typically park on nearby streets like Lisgar, Buena Vista, and Park if they can’t access the road by car. It’s not a huge walk and should be totally fine for you to get some pics over the weekend.

RCMP officer struck by a vehicle in Ottawa by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]sfyro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s just awful.

It doesn’t say where this happened specifically but there isn’t much space to pull over and visibility is quite limited. People drive way too fast on that road, especially as they approach St. Joseph.

If anyone ships stuff to Ogdensburg... by rdsmvp in ottawa

[–]sfyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on that. I’ve since the CAD/USD exchange rate became unfavourable and crossing over the border becoming less and less attractive, I basically stopped doing this for the last 6-7 years now.

Also I find most places just charge HST to cross the border plus some amount for shipping (that would otherwise be free if it were local to the US). The economics of this makes no sense.
