Good Morning.  Nice looking day here this morning.  Temperatures are still quite warm sitting at 1.6 C | 34.88 F.

Forecast For Today: Sunny with some clouds with a chance of a flurry or shower later on.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then once again a bit later from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Snow Report:  No accumulations over night.  I would say as of now we are loosing around 3 – 5 inches a day.  It is melting quite quickly with these warm temperatures.  OK by me as I am ready for some front porch sittin’.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare throughout.  Should be no problem with travelling today.

Around Town:  Quiet is the norm for this time of year.  I suspect a few snow birds will be pointing their cars homeward leaving the sunny south for another year.  Myself I think next month would be the time to leave, as March up here can bring on all kinds of not so good weather.  Also the highways coming home in April are pretty well free from any nasty conditions.  On another note it is a great day for a walk to soak in some of that sunshine and breath in some of our fresh northern air.  You can feel a touch of warmth in the sun now which is a good sign that spring isn’t far off. Actually Friday, the 20th of March is the first day of spring. Only 9 days to go.  Well tea time here.  Thinking of Rose Pedal Tea this morning.  Something different and a good spring tonic to get one motivated.  Enjoy your day.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at g[email protected]
