Looks like November is settling in nicely!

I’ve said this before, but looking ahead, this winter in Port Loring is shaping up to be colder than usual, with more snow than we’ve seen in recent years. La Niña conditions are expected to bring lower temperatures and increased snowfall, so it’s wise to prepare accordingly.

Highway 522 is wearing a frosty coat this morning, but it’s already starting to shed as the day warms up. Traffic has slowed right down, as it usually does this time of year, and will likely stay that way until spring rolls around. That said, if the snow I’m expecting decides to show up, we might see a few snowmobilers zipping through, soaking up the beauty of our winter wonderland. And let me tell you, we’ve got plenty of that around here!

On another note, yesterday was another day of me working on getting back in shape, and I figure today will be much the same. Like I said yesterday, it’s one day at a time right now—no rushing and hope things gets better.

With that, I’m off to enjoy the breakfast my lovely wife has made for me. After that, I’ll head out to the woodworking shop to toss another piece of firewood or two into the old stove. I’ve been keeping it going these days, just in case the mood strikes me to tinker around. It’s nice having a warm spot to escape to—a change from just sitting around the house.

You all have a great day! And remember, it’s the little things—a warm fire, a good breakfast, or just puttering in the shop—that make life pretty darn good.
