Our Great Night at the Nature Museum

Thanks to all the urban sketchers who came out in the cold on January 31st and thanks to the great staff at the Canadian Nature Museum! Here are some photos and sketches from our evening.

January 2019: Urban Sketching Moves Indoors

Ottawa had the dubious distinction of being the coldest capital in the world in January 2019 ("clocking in about 20 degrees colder than winter heavyweights like Moscow and Helsinki, and even edging out perpetual champ Ulan Bator, Mongolia, by a degree". Source: The Weather Network.)

And thats not all!

Low temperatures combined with nearly 30 cm of snow reported at Ottawa Airport last weekend, set the city up to chalk up another unusual milestone -- the coldest snowstorm in more than 100 years.

And I haven't even mentioned the winds of 30-50 km/hr!
