Good Morning:  Well another cold morning here in Port Loring.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at -25.5 C | -13.9 F.

Forecast For Today: Changeable, mending with some sunshine.  Will stay very cold though throughout the day and tonight.

Highway Report: Highway 522 is pretty well bare for most parts but it does have some hard packed ice and snow sections.  Travelling today should be good.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations overnight.

Ice Fishing Report:  Well no problem with the ice not being thick in our area these days.  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then again a bit later from 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Not to much to report here this morning.  Being so cold folks are staying in where it is warm.  Can’t say I blame them. Looking out the window at other homes in the area one can see the smoke lazily rising from the chimneys, then being so cold edging towards the ground.  Kind of brings contentment to ones mind and soul just watching it.  Sign of living in the north my old Grandfather used to say. Miss that old feller.  On another note, in a week and a couple days we are back into March.  OK by me as I am ready for some front porch sittin’.  So with that I will head on into the kitchen and pick up my cup of teat that my wife so lovingly makes for me each morning.  English Breakfast all on its own this morning.  Enjoy your day, stay warm and safe.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
