We have a little snow here in Ottawa this year. But the temperatures fluctuate and rain during every high interval ruins it every other week. Very annoying. Also makes the walking trails around the woods a little more icy and slippery. The last rain was of course on midnight on New Years. Made the fireworks a little less enjoyable. But at least it was not strong enough to ruin the fireworks all together. Otherwise I spend New Years calmly and surrounded by friends, a very enjoyable occasion :)
But a cabin in the woods is definitely something I'd like to do one day. Escaping the turmoil of the city must be a nice thing on a night like that XD
