Weather: ❄️ 40% chance of flurries. High of -6°, low of -12°. 

Number: 36. The number of lists in the 2022 edition of Ottawa's Book of Lists, which ranges from largest ad agencies to craft brewers to animation studios to photonics companies. (Fibre optics and stuff. There are 22 of them in Ottawa.) Always a facinating read. [Ottawa Business Journal] [The Book of Lists]
