Good Morning:  Well another very cold morning. Waking up temperatures were sitting at -28.5 C | -19.3 F.  Not quite as cold as yesterday but still cold.

Forecast For Today: Unsettled, short fine intervals throughout the day. With the sunshine temperatures will warm up a bit later on this morning.  Should be a very nice day.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 has some bare sections along with some hard packed snow sections.  Care should be taken, but should be a great day for travelling, for those that choose to do so.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick along with gathered data is saying the best times to be out there will be from 6:30 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then again a bit later on from 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town.  Yesterday a friend called that reads the Blog each morning.  He has a cottage out near Lost Channel.  He says the ice and things getting to his cottage was great.  So looks like the snowmobiles will be enjoying themselves for the remainder of the season. I would like to thank him for saying hello.    Great to see folks out an about taking in what Nature has to offer.  Nothing can be more beneficial to ones health than staying active and breathing in our fresh northern air.  So my friends, enjoy your day and stay warm. I am heading off for a talk-a-tea with my lovely wife.. Every morning we get to chattin’, and you know…we are good at it.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at; [email protected]
