We had a wee bit of snow here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada overnight. I would say about 2 inches (5.08 cm). And it is still snowing a bit this morning. Temperatures waking up weren’t as cold as they were yesterday which makes things a bit nicer. At the time of this post they were sitting at -0.5 C | 31.1 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is. Tonight it will get a lot colder. Highway 522 is snow covered this morning with a some icy sections throughout, so it isn’t going to be a great day for travelling. Seems the highways aren’t being taken care of like they used to be other years. Not much you can do, other than make sure you have food in the house so you don’t have to go to town for groceries that often. It’s been that way all my life so my wife and I are used to it. LOL With that I am off to put some wood in the old furnace. Normal thing every morning till spring. Have a great day and if driving take care … as the roads are slippery. GW

Another pretty good morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning which makes things a wee bit nicer looking outside. We didn’t have any snow overnight, but we did have a heavy frost. The ground is frozen solid and the lakes are starting to freeze over. Yesterday I was outside helping my lovely wife with the Christmas decorations and when I went to open my door in my shed the ground had heaved and … well, I had to raise the door so it would open. There is always something to enlighten one’s day. LOL Temperatures are cold sitting at -12.6 C | 9.32 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry so travelling will be good today. We could see a bit of light snow tonight and into tomorrow but I don’t suspect it will amount to much. Then back so sunshine. With that I am off to put some wood in the furnace and will carry on with my day, after I have a coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great day. GW

We are having some sunshine here in Port, Loring, Ontario Canada this morning. Nice to see for a change. Seems no matter how cold it is outside if the sun is shinning, the better folks feel. Gives them the energy to get out and about and do things. I would have to say our bodies are governed by the weather. Highway 522 is bare and dry today with no snow overnight. The snow that we were supposed to get stayed south of us which is okay by me. Temperatures are cool though, and at the time of this post it was sitting at -8.4 C | 16.88 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is now. We should see lots of sunshine today and into tomorrow. I don’t see too much more snow for the remainder of the week. Great weather for folks to travel, or do some Christmas Shopping. Myself I will be working away here on the computer while my lovely wife puts up some Christmas Decorations inside and outside. She enjoys doing that. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and will let the day unfold around me. Maybe first I will put some wood in the old furnace, seems a touch cool in here at the moment. Have a great day!

Cloudy morning here in Port, Loring, Ontario, Canada. It is also quite cold with temperatures sitting at -9.2 C | 15.44 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry so far this morning. But things will change if the snow that is in the forecast heads our way. Just have to wait and see. There is a possibility of around 6 inches (15.24 cm) or so. Tomorrow though we are back to sunshine, and we should see a bit of it off and on for most the week. Which will make things great for travelling. It is getting close to Christmas, so I suspect there will be a lot of people on the highways for the next few weeks. The stores and checkouts will also be busy. Myself I don’t mind, as I enjoy watching folks spend their money LOL. With that I am off to put some wood in my furnace, and then will get back to my projects that I am working on. Oh! I forgot, I have to have my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife first. Have a great day. GW

Another day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Man the last day of November with Christmas on the horizon. I sometimes wonder how time can move so fast, and then at times so slow. Could be an age factor. LOL Waking up this morning we are in the midst of clouds, but we should see some sunshine as the day progresses. Tomorrow though snow is in the forecast, and we could receive around 6 inches (15.24 cm) or so. If that turns out to be true I might have to wake up my snowblower. But we will see, what one says isn’t always the way things work out. Highway 522 is bare and dry today, so it will be good travelling weather. Temperatures waking up are a touch cool sitting at -9.7 C | 14.54 F. Myself I am working away here on a few projects putting my computer through its passes. I have a huge project to get finished, so if I am lucky things will be up and running before spring. Not complaining mind ya as it is nice to have things to do, especially things a person likes. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great weekend. GW

Another cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We didn’t have any snow overnight which is okay by me. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -7 C | 19.4 F. It won’t warm up much more for the remainder of the day. Tonight will be even colder, but we shouldn’t see much more snow. The next snow in our area will probably be on Sunday. Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout this morning. Not too much traffic these days, mostly locals. If in need of some groceries this would be the day to head on in to North Bay. We could see a few flurries early this morning, but the sun should break through later on. We will see. Pretty dismal looking day out there at the moment. With that I am off to put some more wood in the furnace. Nice to be able to go downstairs where it is warm to feed it. I for the life of me can’t see having one of these outside ones. Constantly going outside in the cold. Not my cup of tea by no means. Have a great day. GW

Another cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. On the good side of things we didn’t have any snow overnight to speak of and it isn’t raining today. We did have our share of rain yesterday though. Things have also cooled down some with temperatures at the time of this post sitting at -5.1 C | 22.82 F. The wind is coming out of the north which makes it feel colder outside than it really is. Such is life for us humans, as all is not as it really is sometimes. LOL Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning so travelling should be pretty good. We should see some sunshine off and on throughout the day. Nice weather should remain with us up till Sunday where we could see six inches of snow. So enjoy things while you can. Today I will work away here on my computer as I have a bunch of things to do. It is nice to have a warm home with food to eat. I sometimes think certain folks don’t really appreciate what they do have. It’s not all about money, but … in saying that, money does help. We made it that way. LOL With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great day. GW

It’s a rainy, windy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures at the time of this post were sitting at 1.6 C | 34.88 F. Highway 522 at the moment is bare and wet. Things could change anytime now with the rain changing over to ice or snow. At the moment temperatures are fluctuating so no one really knows what is in store. But on the good side of the coin we didn’t have any snow overnight, meaning I don’t need to wake up my snowblower. All the snow we did have has melted and looking out the grass is green. There is still an ice and snow warning up for our area. I would think it is a good day to stay home if you can do so. Travelling won’t be the greatest. Myself I have some things to do around the house here which will keep me busy most of the day. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will let the day unfold around me. You just never know what a day has in store for us humans.

If the weather had been better hunting would have been pretty good today. I give it a 3-Star rating out of 5. Good Luck and stay safe. Better yet, it might be a good day to stay home where it is dry and warm.

Cloudy morning waking up in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We could see some sunshine off and on throughout the day. Tomorrow though is another story as we could get some snow with risk of freezing rain. There are warnings up for our area. In reality, it will depend on temperatures and direction. So we will see. This morning it isn’t bad temperature wise sitting at 4.3 C | 39.74 F. It will remain there most of the day. Highway 522 is bare and dry which will make travelling pretty good today. Yesterday my lovely wife and I went to North Bay had lunch with our son and picked up a few things that we were in need of. Seems it takes a full day to go to town no matter what you do. North Bay is getting busy these days with more folks moving into the area, along with new stores and business’s opening all the time. Which is a good thing I suppose. With that I am off for some buttermilk pancakes and a cup of fresh perked coffee. I know … I have it tough, but such is life. LOL Have a great day. GW

Cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We should see some sunshine off and on throughout the day. This coming Wednesday we could have some really not so good weather with up to 6 inches (15.24 cm) of snow and high winds entering into the picture also. So I would think if you need anything in town today and tomorrow are the days to do it. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 0.2 C | 32.36 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry. Today I will continue on with some work I am doing around the house here. Other than that will take things a bit easy today. Have a great day.

We do have a few clouds here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning. We should see some sunshine off and on throughout the day. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 0.8 C | 33.44 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. It should be a really nice day weather wise. Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout which will make it nice if you have to go to town. Myself I have some work to do around the house here which will keep me busy. Then later on when the sun decides to come out I might just wash my car. There won’t be many more days that I can do that. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee. Have a great day.

Cloudy morning with some flurried taking place here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. No accumulations to speak of through the night. That said it has cooled down a lot since yesterday. Highway 522 is partially snow covered so you will have to take car if travelling. It will remain cold today but some sunshine should break through the clouds shortly. Tomorrow it will warm up some. Maybe I might get to wash my car as it is a mess. Temperatures at the time of this post was sitting at -4.7 C | 23.54. My wife and I took a two-day trip to Coldwater Ontario and the roads were perfect. Had a great time did some visiting with friends. Great trip all way round. Now that we are back I have some work to do around the house here and will start up the wood furnace. Saves on the oil bill. Also, the wood heat takes the chills right out of one’s body. Can’t beat it. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and will see what else the day has in store. Have a great day.

We have cloudy skies here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning. We didn’t have any accumulations of snow overnight. Waking up temperatures are quite nice sitting at 0.4 C | 32.72 F. It will rise even more, as the day progresses, which will melt a lot of the snow. Tomorrow will be even warmer. We should see some sunshine off and on throughout the day, which will make things just that much nicer. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if it warmed up, so we could do some front porch sittin’ LOL Highway 522 is bare which will make travelling good. For the past few days I have been writing up stories for my columns and today will be much the same. Once I get them all done up I can get onto some other things I have in mind. Also, Christmas is slowly closing in on us. Man where does time go. Some days to me time almost stops, then other days seem to fly by. I sometimes think we are all connected and part of one universal mind. (Energy) And it controls what we do or think as it so chooses. LOL I have to admit it makes more sense than most of what our scientists think today. LOL At any rate I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will see what the day has in store. Have a great day!

Once again hunting won’t be the greatest. I give it a 2-Star Rating out of 5. Good Luck and stay safe.

Cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We didn’t have anymore snow through the night. Temperatures have warmed up a bit and at the time of this post they were sitting at -2.4 C | 27.68 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry. So knowing that travelling today should be pretty good. On the good side of the coin things will warm up above the freezing mark and stay there for most of the week which should cut down on the heating bill. If temperatures remain warm the snow could be all gone by the end of the week. But as it is the warm weather won’t last for long so enjoy it while you can. Today I will be working on a story or two for my columns. I like to get them done up for winter, so I can get onto other things I enjoy. With that I am off for my morning chat with my lovely wife and will see what the day has in store. Every morning is like opening Christmas presents. You just never know what a day might bring. LOL Have a great day.
