Good Morning:  Well starting off with the first day of spring it is not so bad.  A touch cool with temperatures waking up sitting at -5.3 C | 22.46 F.  Winter is finally over, as far as dates goes which is fine with me. You have to start somewhere.

Forecast For Today:  Some sunshine along with some clouds.  Later on we will have some mixed precipitation coming our way.  Could be snow, could be rain could be freezing rain.  This will continue through the night and into tomorrow.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout.  Things could change later on this afternoon.  As of now travelling is good.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations over night.  I would say our snow here is well over half gone.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM.  Then again from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Things are quiet these days with stores occasionally doing a modest business.  But that will change within a month or so with the tourists and cottage owners entering into the picture.    Kind of like us waking up in the morning.  Takes a bit for things to become apparent, then the day carries on with what we make it into.  Some choose to make it a good day, others not.  For myself I make a nice tea, sit back and let the thoughts of what should take place enter and then…let it happen.  Enjoy your day my friends.  You can reach me if you so wish at [email protected]

Good Morning:  Well nice looking day out there this morning.  Hope everyone had a great St Patrick’s Day.  This morning waking up temperatures were sitting at -8.3 C | 17.06 F.

Forecast For Today:  Unsettled, probably improving.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations over night.  Could see a bit tonight and into tomorrow.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry today which will make travelling quite nice.  Especially with the sun shinning down upon us.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  I see in the news the wind farm has been stopped in Mattawa.  My own personal opinion is that it’s for the best.  I can’t see our money,taxpayers money, being paid out for something that costs us money.  Not to forget the effects it would have had on Nature. There are a lot better avenues out there where our money should be going.  That’s the problem today, so much waste. Big ideas never being thought out.  As I say, my opinion only.  So with that it’s tea time here.  Corn Silk tea is my choice this morning.  Great for bringing on happiness, strength and contentment.   In reality what more could a person ask for?  Enjoy your day.  You can reach me at [email protected]
