What’s What For Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning:  Hope everyone is well on this fine Saturday Morning!  Temperatures waking up were sitting at 2.6 C | 36.68 F.  Not to bad.

Forecast For Today.  There is a Freezing rain warning in effect for: Port Loring – North Bay – Powassan – Mattawa – West Nipissing & French River.  So far nothing has occurred here in Port Loring.  But that could change at any moment.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry so far, but if the freezing rain begins travelling won’t be good.  Kind of just have to watch things and see how they pan out. One of those days.

Snow Report:  No accumulations over night. Melting rate is around 4 inches a day.

Ice Fishing Report:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the be best times to be out there will be from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Great day for catching a few. Being this time of year you should be keeping an eye on the thickness of the ice before venturing out on it. In some places it doesn’t look like it is melting but it is.

Around Town:  Quiet day here hardly a car moving up and down the highway.  Being so cloudy along with the time change folks are sleeping in a touch.  On another note, tea time here.  Just regular English Breakfast this morning. Of all the regular teas it is the one I prefer the most.  Enjoy your day.  You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]

Happenings In & Around Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning.  Nice looking day here this morning.  Temperatures are still quite warm sitting at 1.6 C | 34.88 F.

Forecast For Today: Sunny with some clouds with a chance of a flurry or shower later on.

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 – 11:30 AM.  Then once again a bit later from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Snow Report:  No accumulations over night.  I would say as of now we are loosing around 3 – 5 inches a day.  It is melting quite quickly with these warm temperatures.  OK by me as I am ready for some front porch sittin’.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare throughout.  Should be no problem with travelling today.

Around Town:  Quiet is the norm for this time of year.  I suspect a few snow birds will be pointing their cars homeward leaving the sunny south for another year.  Myself I think next month would be the time to leave, as March up here can bring on all kinds of not so good weather.  Also the highways coming home in April are pretty well free from any nasty conditions.  On another note it is a great day for a walk to soak in some of that sunshine and breath in some of our fresh northern air.  You can feel a touch of warmth in the sun now which is a good sign that spring isn’t far off. Actually Friday, the 20th of March is the first day of spring. Only 9 days to go.  Well tea time here.  Thinking of Rose Pedal Tea this morning.  Something different and a good spring tonic to get one motivated.  Enjoy your day.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at g[email protected]

Happenings In & Around Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning:  Not a bad looking day out there so far.  Temperatures waking up were sitting at -16.8 C | 1.76 F.

Forecast For Today.  Some sunshine with clouds moving in after lunch and then a bit more snow will be upon us through the night. Travelling today should be good. Tomorrow things will start to warm up a touch.

Highway Report: Highway 522 is bare and dry pretty well throughout.  There is a few icy section and some hard packed snow sections here and there.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 11:30 AM – 4:30 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Not much to report here this morning.  It is a good day to get outside and soak up some of that sunshine.  I know it is pretty hard all bundled up, but even with it shinning down upon us it is a substantial gain in ones health.   I have found over the years one great way to bring in the sunshine, that is to look up at the sun with your eyes closed.  Things will become red in colour.  Just hold that position for a few minutes and let the energy absorb through.  You will be surprised how good your body preforms for the rest of the day. Nothing can beat the sunshine for good health.  Simply put, without it we perish. Enjoy your day.  You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]
