For all of those who claim to enjoy living in Kansas because of the four varying seasons, you just got your wish.
Winter is now here with a vengeance.
Freezing drizzle started in Ottawa Sunday evening and was followed by falling temperatures and dangerously low wind-chill factors. The weather continued to worsen Monday, with more ice than snow. While school children may have initially been excited about a snow day for sledding and other outdoor fun, their chapped and red cheeks and hands, likely, sent them back into the house quicker than they expected. Anyone who has had trouble getting into the Christmas spirit no longer has the nice weather to use as a scapegoat. There is no doubt about the chill in the air and the coating of snow on the ground.
