Happenings In & Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  Well find looking day starting off April.  Temperatures were a touch cool sitting at -8.4 C | 16.88 F.  It will warm up as the day moves forward.  Spring is here.

Forecast For Today: Rather unsettled clearing later with some sunshine.  Tonight we will get some freezing rain.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry.  Travelling will be good through most of the day.  Tonight could become quite bad with the freezing rain that is heading our way.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations overnight.

Around Town:  Still quiet around town.  Not many cars or trucks moving up and down the highway.  But that will change in the coming days.  Once the snow has left a whole new agenda starts to take place.   Yards being cleaned up.   Plans for the coming season business wise. Trips to far off places,  Firewood for next year being piled where it is dry.  Gardens being looked at and planned out, and my most favourite, bringing out the old rocking chairs for some front porch sittin’.  I look forward to enjoying a tea chatting to my lovely wife soaking up some morning sunshine.  Tea tor today is from the petals of the Calendula flower.  Great tasting tea for all kinds of ailments, or just to fortify the body for the coming day.  Try it sometime, or better yet grow some this year yourself. In doing so you will have the best of the best tea available to you all year round for free.

Happenings Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  Not to bad temperature wise this morning.  Waking up it was sitting at   0.1 C | 32.18 F.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy, may improve as the day moves forward.

Snow Report:  We had around 2 inches of snow over night.  With temperatures being where they are at I suspect it will be short lived.

Highway Report. Highway 522 is pretty well bare but it does have some slushy sections throughout.  Travelling should be okay.

Around Town:  Not much to report here for a Monday morning.  Folks are back to work and those that are retired are taking the days as they come.  I have to say I enjoy starting a new day, as all is up for grabs, so to speak.  What ever I choose to do is there for the taking.  The trick to making it a good day is knowing the right road to take.  Some choose trouble some choose contentment.  Free will they call it.  I call it common sense.  Tea time here.  English breakfast with a touch of corn silk.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Happenings In & Around Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning.  Cloudy morning waking up.  Temperatures though have remained above freezing throughout the night.  Lot of melting taking place at this time.  Temperatures were sitting at; 1.2 C | 34.16 F.

Forecast For Today:  Cloudy, with a possible flurry or rain off and on through the day.  Melting will continue.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare but wet throughout.   Travelling should be okay for most of the day.

Snow Report:  Well over half our snow is gone.  No snow accumulations over night.

Around Town:  Just about time to start thinking on starting some of them seeds from last year.  I like to get mine up a ways which takes time.  Nothing gives me more pleasure than to see them sprouting up out of the soil.  Once it warms up they will be ready to plant in the garden.  Myself I start mine in egg cartons.  I found that the carton itself holds the moisture in the right amounts to sustain the seeds for a good length of time.  Also keeps them separated nicely. Nothing more satisfying than growing your own, especially from seeds.  Enjoy your day and say safe.  You can reach me at                        [email protected]

Happenings In And Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning: Well waking up this morning temperatures were sitting at 0.1 C | 32.18 F.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy with snow off and on most of the day turning colder.  Will be quite cold tonight and through tomorrow as well.  The winds are coming in from the North North West.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is snow covered with some icy sections throughout.  Not a good day for travelling.  I would recommend staying home if possible.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations over night.  It is coming down quite rapidly though this morning.  Blowing snow makes things worse which it is doing at this time.  Winter wonderland out there today.

Ice Fishing Times:  I hear the ice huts are being taken off the lakes in Nippising as the ice is melting quite rapidly these days.  I would think we should follow their example.  Its not worth some one getting hurt for the sake of a few fish.  There will be plenty of time for fishing sitting in a boat.in the near future.  Tomorrow will be the last day for the Ice Fishing Times for this season.  Today though the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then again from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM. I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  If unsure of the ice thickness stay off it.  Good luck and stay safe.

Around Town: There is a Community Paramedical Program in Effect for our area. For all the information click flyer below.  Enjoy your day and with this blowing snow be careful out there.  Good thing is it won’t last for long, seems to be the trend for our area year after year.

Forecast For Today:  We should see lots of sunshine today with temperatures warming up.  Will even be warmer tomorrow but then things will get colder for three or four days.  Then back into some nice weather.  So patience is what is needed this time of year.

Snow Report:  No accumulations overnight.  In spite of the cooler weather we have had in the past few days the snow is still melting slowly.

Around Town: Not to much to report here this morning.  Other than a flu bug going around town.  So make sure you wash your hands more often and try to stay clear of those that are sick.  Good Luck?  Enjoy your day.  You can reach me at [email protected]
