Good Morning:  Well hope everyone is well on this fine Saturday morning.   Did warm up a touch over night to -19 C | -2.2 F.  It will continue to warm up even more as the day moves forward.

 Forecast For Today:  Stormy with snow entering into the picture around noon.  Could get a few inches.  Tomorrow temperatures will warm up to around 2 C / 35 F.  So some melting will be with us for a day or so.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM.  Then once again from 3:00 PM – 4:45 PM.   I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few this morning and a 4 fish rating for catching them this afternoon.  Good Luck!

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is ploughed and well sanded.  But it still had a lot of icy sections with hard packed snow throughout.  I made a trip to Powassan yesterday taking in the sunshine and found it was quite slippery.  So care should be taken if travelling.

Around Town:  Got nothing to report here this morning.  Hardly a car moving up and down the highway.  Kind of think folks are sleeping in with it being so dark in the early morning hours.  Enjoy your day my friends.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]
