April in Ottawa

by alec on April 16, 2007

It’s April 16th in Ottawa.  The annual Ottawa Tulip Festival begins May 4th, which is just a little over 3 weeks away. You’d never know it this morning.  Here’s the view outside my front door from just a few minutes ago.

A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

And over the weekend in Melbourne we had 33C, when it should be 18C.

Glad we are in Victoria!!! I can remember snow for Easter in Ottawa (in March) not after Easter in April.

Nice. We've had fluctuating in Metro Denver between very warm and very cold this spring. The ranges are nutty–between -5C and 25C.
