The west Ottawa neighbourhood we live in used to be a separate city called Nepean.
A number of years ago, the provincial government decided it would be more economical to have fewer, albeit larger, cities so we were unhappily absorbed into the city of Ottawa - unhappily because the city of Nepean was proudly “debt-free” while the city of Ottawa wasn’t!
But all that is history!
Although the city of Nepean no longer exists, the post office still recognizes it. In fact, when I type my postal code into an online form, the city name of Ottawa often automatically switches to Nepean...
My iPhone weather app also distinguished between the two cities, which is fine... except for when Nepean and Ottawa are assigned different weather forecasts!
Yesterday the app predicted that Nepean’s forecast for Monday (today) would be stormy with a high of 82 degrees Fahrenheit, or 28 degrees Celsius...
Whereas the Ottawa forecast was for a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 84 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius).
I wonder which forecast will prove more accurate!
