Winter Driving on the 401 and the Ottawa River Ice Bridge

Sometimes you just have to drive and deal with old man winter when you don't want to.

Pace has tests tomorrow (Monday) morning, and she'd recovered from her gastro Sunday AM. So off we went. I didn't bother to check weather conditions in Ontario or Quebec cause all it was going to do was going to do was make the drive more stressful.

We had blizzard conditions for an hour and a half from from Oshawa to Napanee. Then again from Prescott to Cornwall.

Luckily the ice bridge over the Ottawa river is open. The ice has to be 1 foot thick before they open it, it's faster than the ferry, it cuts about 45 minutes off of the trip and We could have visted jean-Louis at his ice fishing hut.
