Another cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures waking up were sitting a -22.2 C | -7.96 F. Looking outside, the smoke is slowly curling up out of the chimneys, which is a sign of just how cold it is. But it isn’t as cold as it was yesterday. We didn’t have any more snow last night. Which is okay by me. On the good side of things the sun is starting to show itself. Highway 522 is bare and dry for most parts, so it will be a good day for folks to head on off to town to do their Christmas shopping. My wife and I went on Wednesday, which turned out to be a great day, other than being a touch cool. But we were able to get everything done, and along with that we had lunch with our son Karl. The roads were good too. The stores were really busy with folks standing in lines at the checkouts. Parking lots at the Mall in North Bay by Walmart were all full. The groceries stores weren’t too busy, but I suspect they will be now, with Christmas being so close. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and put another couple pieces of wood in the furnace. Have a great day and dress warm if going outside, but you all know that. Right? LOL
