Good Morning:  Well another cold morning here in Port Loring.  But on the bright side the sun is shinning down upon us.

Forecast For Today: Snowy early, then improving.  Will also warm up a touch for the next two days with some snow moving in after that.

Ice Fishing Times;  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM.  Then once again a bit later from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare for most parts but there is still some snow covered sections throughout.  Travelling should be good for those planning on heading of to their places of choice.

Around Town.  Folks are taking things easy these days.  Did walk down the the Home Hardware to thank Steve for some advice he gave me a couple days ago.  Great fellow for sure.  Not only was his advice right on the money he saved me a good hunk of change. If your in need of some building supplies or just want to find out about a project, drop by and ask for Steve.    After that I headed on down to see Derrill and Mike at Clapperton’s Garage & Towing.  Both were there and as usual we had a good old chat for a bit.  Two nice folks to say the least. Here again if your in need of towing you can’t go wrong with Derrill and if your need some small equipment fixed up or your boat motor or snowmobile fixed ask for Mike.  So my friends, enjoy your day and stay safe an warm. In Closing, I Would like to wish you well.  You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]
