Good Morning! Starting things off, it is a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature climbing out of bed was sitting at -24.8 C | -12.64 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is today. Tonight it will be even colder, so an extra blanket might be in order. Highway 522 has some icy snow covered areas throughout, but travelling will be good. We could also see some light snow later on this afternoon. To be honest … this time of year here in Port Loring, you can expect pretty well anything. And you should be prepared for just about anything. That’s what living in the north is all about. On another note, my lovely wife and I decided that … since it was going to get colder, that we should go and pick up our groceries in North Bay yesterday. Which we did. We have gone back to ordering things online as we were doing before when this virus slowed down some. So all we had to do was pull up in front of the places we deal with, give them a call, and they bring it out to our car. Can’t beat that. But the best part is we don’t have to subject ourselves to a whole mess of people inside the stores. Which I think is the thing to be doing these days. While there, we dropped by our son’s apartment, and see him in his parking lot, as he is staying safe too. Dropped him off a few things and then chatted to him on the phone along the way home. We also ordered some food, and ate it in our car, taking in the city life. It’s good to see what the other half is doing once in a while. Not that we would want such a lifestyle. Not saying it is a bad way to live, but it’s not for us. I have to admit, we had a great day and enjoyed getting out of the house for a few hours. The scenery that Mother Natures has on display is always nice to see. Today I think I will work away on another podcast, oh damn It’s Friday already, I guess I need to put up the next Episode. I will do that right now. I hope you enjoy it. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring Ontario. We did have around an inch of light snow through the night. Nothing to stop you from going anywhere if you have to go anywhere .I did see a few snowmobiles out and about yesterday, making their way through the trails behind my house. Nice to see. My wife and I are staying put these days with the way this new virus is spreading. Eventually I am sure everyone will get it, but staying put will help the hospitals, doctors and nurses a bit, which is what is needed at the moment. I think once it reaches it peak, meaning almost everyone has caught it … it then will drop as fast as it started. Highway 522 has a few, snow covered areas along with some icy sections throughout. Tonight things will become darn cold again, and stay that way for the next three days. After that, things should moderate. Yesterday I managed to write up a couple stories for my columns and today will probably do the same. With that, I am off for a bagel this morning with my lovely wife. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning. It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We did have a touch of snow overnight, about one inch. Not enough to bring out my old snow blower, though. Which is fine by me. Highway 522 is partially snow covered, with some icy sections throughout. The temperature waking up was sitting at -4.6 C | 23.72 F. A lot warmer than yesterday and the day before. It is warmer, but that is about to change with colder temperatures will be moving in by tomorrow night. The coldest nights will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We are having some light snow at the moment, but I don’t suspect it will amount to much. On another note, I just put some more wood in my shop stove. It’s nice and toasty in there. So if the urge hits to work on a few projects I have lined up, I will be all set. But right now, I don’t have any urges, Ha Ha. Today I will be working on another podcast that I have in mind along with a story for my newspaper columns. I haven’t seen many snow mobiles yet this year, but with this cold weather I suspect they will be out and about sooner than later. I enjoy seeing them, makes me feel good knowing that some are enjoying life a bit. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe, this damn virus is sure getting out of hand these days. You know … I am getting a wee bit tired of it. Ha Ha.
