George’s Daily Post Nov. 22/2015

Good Morning:  Well snow made its appearance yesterday and through the night.   Looks like a winter wonderland out their waking up.  Temperatures were sitting at -3.7 C | 25.34 F.  Will warm up a touch later on.  Today’s forecast is saying it will be a touch unsettled but improving as the day moves forward.  We are having some light flurries as I type.

Body Pain, Flu’s & Colds Related To Weather:  Today the weather will neither help nor hinder any of the above.  Which in some ways is a good thing.

Snow Report:  This morning waking up we have around 6 – 8 inches of the white stuff.  Winter in Port Loring has arrived.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is snow covered for most parts but the snowplough has been through a few times over night.  Travelling will be touch and go today till things get melted off.  If out and about care should be taken.

Hunting Information:  Be it Bow or Camera today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then once again from 3:30 PM  – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 2 Buck Rating our of 5 for seeing a few.   Not the greatest day for hunting.  Good Luck though!

Around Town: Well this morning most folks will be cleaning out their driveways.  I also will have to get to cleaning as we have a bit of travelling to do.  So had better get moving.  Have a great day and stay safe.  Make it a great day.   Only you can do that.

George’s Daily Post Nov. 21/2015

Good Morning: Cloudy morning here in Port Loring.  Got a storm front moving into our area this afternoon, 5 cm are expected by early evening with another 10 to 15 cm tonight. The snow will taper off on Sunday.  I hope so.  I like snow but I don’t like a whole mess of it. But we do live in the snow belt.  If anyone gets it we do.  Also could see some high winds associated with the storm.

Pain, Colds & Flu’s Related To Weather:   Today the weather will protect us from colds and flu’s.  For aches and pains it will do nothing, neither hinder nor help.  Kind of just going to sit there and let things happen.

Highway Report: As of 9:30 AM, Highway 522 is bare and dry.  That will change as the day moves forward.  Travelling will be good this morning deteriorating this afternoon.  So care should be taken if out and about.  Tomorrow will be a better day, I hope.

Snow Report:  Nothing to speak of at the moment.

Hunting Information;  For those that want to do some scouting with a camera or a Bow the best times to be out there will be from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM.  A fair day for hunting.  I give it a 3 out of 5 Buck Rating for seeing a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town: Not too much happening in and around our small community.  We did head on into North Bay yesterday and most stores were doing a brisk business.  Good to see.  Our son Karl took us for supper at the Montana’s 1899 Algonquin Ave, North Bay, ON P1B 4Y8
Phone:(705) 840-2087.  New place that opened up in the Bay and I have to say it was excellent.  We all ordered something different and all was really tasty.  Prices weren’t all that bad either.  I don’t mind paying a bit more if things are good.  Also the waitress’s were kind and helpful.  So on a score of 1 to 10 I would give it a 8 as of now.  Why only a 8.  Simple, nothing is perfect in life and they still have to do some fixing up on the inside here and their.  All and all no complaints.  With that heading off for my morning tea.  Dandelion this morning.  Good for all kinds of things.  Enjoy your day an stay safe.

George’s Daily Post For Nov. 19

Good Morning:  Other than a few clouds and some high winds, it is not so bad of a day here in Port Loring Ontario.  Temperatures were quite warm waking up sitting at 12.9 C | 55.22 F.  Today we will see more rain.  Temperatures will fall this evening and some snow is in the forecast for the next couple days.  Looks like winter is edging closer.

Pain, Flu’s & Colds Related To Weather:  Today the weather will once again play havoc with those suffering with body aches and pains.  (rheumatism) But it will be of help in preventing colds and the flu.  So not so bad a day.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and wet throughout.  Travelling will be good for the day but a change is about to take place.   Also there have been a few sightings of deer and moose making their away across the highway. So care should be taken.

Snow Report:  Nothings as of this morning.

Hunting Information:  This morning the old weather stick along with gathered data taken directly from our very own weather station located here in Port Loring is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then once again a bit later on from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM.  Good luck!

Around Town:  My very good friend Danny Brooks is holding an event in Sudbury ,Wednesday November 25th at the Sudbury Public Library.  He says…We are presenting one of the most powerful workshops we have ever created called
“Unravelling You Inner Workings”.

The workshop is to help people understand WHY what they are currently living isn’t matching up with what they are feeling inside.  We start at 6:30pm at the main library 74 McKenzie Street.
It is going to be a wonderful journey! Should be a great event and you won’t find anyone more knowing than Danny.  Nice fellow.    With that I am heading off for my morning tea.  Chaga is on the menu for this morning. One of Danny’s most favourite drinks.  Good for what ails you along with protecting you from all kinds of not so good things.  Builds ones immunities and the mind.

George’s Daily Post Nov. 18

Good Morning: Cloudy day here in Port Loring Ontario. Waking up temperatures were sitting at 8.9 C | 48.02 F.  Forecast for today is saying it will be stormy, much rain. Great day to get some inside work done up.  Myself I kind of enjoy these days.

Pain, Colds & Flu’s Related To Weather:  Today the weather will be a concern to those suffering with body aches and pains (rheumatism)  On the flip side the weather will keep most colds and flu’s at bay today.  Still no excuse not wash your hands if out visiting, shopping or ?.  If folks did just that after going somewhere, colds and flu’s would be cut in half.  Also over the years I have kept most colds and flu’s at bay by simply not touching my face with my hands.  Good practice to get into.  Also one last thing. If your sick stay at home!!!

Hunting Times:  Today won’t be the greatest for those wanting to do some hunting.  I give it a 2 Buck Rating out of 5 for seeing a few.   Times to be out there will be from 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM.  Then a bit later on from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM.  Good Luck!

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare but a bit wet and slick in certain areas throughout.  Occasional deer or moose are also making their way across.  Travelling will be good today for most parts.

Around Town:  Things are quiet.  Hardly a car moving up or down the highway this morning.  Thinking I will get into writing up a few stories on this fine Wednesday morning.  Seems the urge hits and has to be done.  With that will head off for my morning tea. Red Rose this morning for a change.  Change is good.  Enjoy your day and stay safe.

George’s Daily Post Nov. 17

Good Morning:  We woke up to some nice sunny weather here in Port Loring Ontario.  Sun was a shinning down upon us which seems to draw a person out from under the sheets.  Temperatures waking up were sitting at 1.3 C | 34.34 F.  Not too cold for this time of year.  Today the sunshine will remain upon us with temperatures remaining quite warm.  Great day to get outside.

Pain,  Flu’s & Colds Related To Weather:  Today the weather will be of assistance.  Will help ward off those viruses and make one feel like doing things with ease.  Good day no matter which way you look at it.   Make the best of it.

Hunting Information:  Today the old weather stick along with gathered data is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then again a bit later on from  4:30 PM – 7:30 PM.   Should be a fair day for hunting.  I give it a 3 Buck Rating out of 5 for seeing a few.  Good Luck!

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout these days.  Travelling today will be good.  No reason to sit around the house.

Snow Report:  Nothing to speak of this morning.  The ground though did have a crust of ice on it though.  Won’t be long before we are covered with the white stuff.

Around Town:  Things are quiet.  In other places they are quite busy with stores being packed with buyers of all kinds.  I have found that folks are spending more these days, buying items that normally wouldn’t be bought.  Good sign of how our economy is really doing.  Buying and not owing is a good thing.  Charging and owning isn’t.  Especially with what they charge on them credit cards these days.  I also see a lot of these money stores popping up here and there.  My advice is to stay away from them.  Not a good practice to get into.  I have found over the years that if I don’t have the money to buy things outright, I just don’t buy it.  Simple as that.  My opinion only of course.  With that enjoy your day, make it a good day.  Only you can do that.
