Well getting out of bed temperatures were sitting at -26.5 C | -15.7 F I have to say we sure have been having our share of cold weather. Some say. Hey! it’s winter time and you live here in the North. I say Hey! your right, but I don’t have to like it. Oh well warmer weather isn’t that far off. We are now heading off into February which is a short month. On another note my lovely wife and I have a lot of friends in Florida and they all have informed us that it hasn’t been that warm down there this winter thus far. So being that we were unable to go this year I don’t feel so bad. Well I had better go. I have to clean my driveway sometime today as I didn’t get to it yesterday with it being so windy and snowy. I did have a friend with his backhoe clean the end of my driveway out this morning, as there was a huge chunk of ice blocking a portion of it. That will make things much easier for me. Good to have friends in the right places. Have a great day and stay warm. GW

Well waking up once again we have more snow. Not as cold though, with temperatures sitting at -14.2 C | 6.44 F. It’s not the amount of snow that has fallen this time it is the drifting. In some spots our back of our house there are drifts two to three feet high. So I guess my snowblower will be getting another work out later on. I don’t figure it is worth the effort going out there at the moment, with the way the wind is blowing and snowing like it is. So I will wait till things clears up a touch. For all your weather information pertaining to Port Loring you can click the link below. The weather station has been running now for over six years logging data every 15 minutes not missing a day since it was put up. I would also like to thank all those that have helped in supporting it. Most are from out of town that have cottages in our area. It’s nice to see so many folks using it. With that I guess I will head off to the basement and put in another piece of wood in the wood furnace. It sure is nice having a good wood furnace as it keeps the house warm on the coldest day without any effort at all. It is nice to come into a warm home on a cold snowy day like today. Stay warm! GW

Well lots more snow for us here in Port Loring. Waking up I would suspect we have another six inches or so. More in drifts up by my shop. Seems to gather there for some reason. I am thinking it does it on purpose just to aggravate me. I don’t mind the snow really other than having to clean things up after it is finished. But then again the snow blower makes short work of things so can’t complain. The only other thing about the not so good weather is when a person has to go to town for groceries. As with it being so far off and if the roads are covered it makes things challenging to say the least. But I suppose that is what freezers are for. Well I guess I will go for a bite to eat and put some wood in the furnace. You all have a great day and stay warm. Least it isn’t as cold as it was yesterday. Man, I almost had to put a tea shirt on yesterday. GW

Well cold morning here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -33.9 C | -29.02 F. Kind of makes a feller wanting to stay in bed. So been awhile since my last post things have taken up my time and I haven’t had a chance to say hello. But now that things are sort of back to normal I will be here more often. The power here in Port Loring was out from 4:00 AM till 7:00 AM this morning. I was hoping they would have it fixed sooner than later and they did. Might have been a chore starting the generator being so cold. But it wasn’t needed. The nice thing about this wood heat is that we are warm no matter what as long as you have wood to feed it. Anyways have a great day. GW
