Snow day in Ottawa brings out skiers, tobogganers
The day after a record-breaking snowfall, Ottawa becomes, for some, a winter wonderland
Tuesday's massive snow dump may have caused misery for commuters, and back aches for shovellers, but today it's a different story for those who didn't go to school or work, and decided to make it a snow day.
Whether it was tobogganing, skiing or just walking the dog, those who don't mind the snow made the most of it.
