Backwoods Weather Report – Port Loring, Ontario
Monday, November 10, 2025

Good Morning:
It’s a cold start today with temperatures sitting at 20°F (–6.6°C) and the air feeling heavy, thanks to 83% humidity. The barometer remains low at 29.17 in-Hg indicating little change in the weather. Winds are calm from the north-northeast, barely a whisper, leaving the woods still and quiet, as if they are holding their breath. The first snow of the season has arrived, about half an inch settled overnight. It’s just enough to dust the trails and branches, making everything look refreshed and ready for winter.

Today’s Forecast:
Expect mostly cloudy skies and heavy, with not much wind. The high will reach around 28°F (–2°C), keeping a cold bite throughout the day. A stray flurry or two may pass, but nothing significant is expected beyond the morning’s light snowfall.

Tonight:
The sky stays overcast with temperatures dropping to about 14°F (–10°C). Fog may settle in low areas, and frost will coat the morning snow, making the trails crisp underfoot. Winds remain calm from the north-northeast, and the quiet makes the woods feel larger and even more peaceful.

Tomorrow (Tuesday):
The morning begins near 19°F (–7°C), rising to about 28°F (–2°C) by afternoon. Clouds may break slightly, allowing for glimpses of weak sunlight. Light winds from the north could ruffle the frosted branches, and if the snow firms up overnight, conditions will be ideal for tracking.

Best Deer Hunting Times:
Deer are moving slowly in this cold. The best windows today are early from 7:00 to 9:00 AM and again late in the afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30 PM before dusk. With calm winds, your scent will linger, so move slowly and carefully. Tomorrow, mid-morning could be more promising as the light strengthens and deer resume browsing.

Signs from Nature:
Gray clouds hang low over the hills, frost sparkles in the pale sunlight, and the first snow crunches beneath your boots. Branches remain still in the calm air, and every so often, you can see a bird or squirrel moving about, but mostly, it’s the snow, the frost, and the stillness that tell the story. Winter has arrived folks, leaving its first quiet mark of the year, and you can feel its presence if you pause and take it all in.
