Good Morning. Well it sure is a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at -30.3 C | -22.54 F at 5:28 AM. For the first time in a long time, I left our car plugged in all night. It is good for minus -35 F, but I figured just in case. We didn’t have any snow overnight, which is a good thing, as it would be too cold to go out to clean things up. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good, that is if you want to bear the cold. For my wife and I, we are going to stay inside where it is warm. We both aren’t feeling up to par yet since we had the Moderna booster shot for some reason. At any rate, not much we can do other than wait it out, I suppose. On another note, we are having a few Blue Jays and some Morning Doves visit our bird feeder these days. We usually have some Nuthatches and Chickadees, but haven’t seen too many. We haven’t seen many woodpeckers, neither. With that, I am off for a bowl of warm cereal and will then see what the day has in store. I am not sure what I will be doing today. See how I feel later on. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at -16.9 C | 1.58 F. On top of the cold, we also had around 8 inches of snow yesterday and overnight. We are still having flurries this morning. Highway 522 is totally snow covered with lots of icy sections throughout. So care will have to be taken if out and about. My lovely wife and I will be staying put. Once the snow stops, we will get at cleaning our driveway and decks. Yesterday, figuring we would be in for a lot of snow, I put my snowblower in where its warm. Now it will be all set to go. The warmth makes it easier to start and saves the motor. I also managed to write up another story yesterday and will probably work on another today. But in saying that, it is becoming challenging these days trying to figure out things to write about. As after 2000 stories or so, there isn’t much I haven’t written about. With that, I am off for a bagel this morning and will then see what mischief I can get into. That is what men are supposed to do. Right? Take care and stay safe. It’s not looking good out there these days, with this crazy virus.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We didn’t have any snow overnight, but we will have our share throughout the day, which could amount to around 4 inches or so. It is snowing now. Highway 522 is mostly snow covered and I suspect it will remain that way today and into tomorrow. Which will make travelling not so good. I would recommend staying home. And it might be a good thing with the way this virus is spreading. I see a lot of places are closing up for a spell once again, which in my mind is a good thing as we have to at the very least slow it down. If not, the consequences won’t be good. My wife and I have gone back to ordering things online like groceries. It is easy to do and saves us having to go into the stores. In some ways, I prefer doing it that way. Yesterday I worked away on a couple stories I had in mind for my newspaper columns and got them looked after. Today I will do much the same. I have been keeping my shop stove going so if the urge hits I have a cozy place to work. With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal this morning and will then see where the day takes me. Take care, stay safe and most importantly wear a good mask. GW
