Around Town:   Highway 522 is mostly wet with a few icy sections and some snow covered areas here and there.  So care should be taken.  Seems every year with the first snow fall comes accidents.  Reason being folks aren’t used to it and figure they can drive at the same speeds as when the highways are dry.  So my friends leave early to go where ever your heading and drive slower. Doing so you will have more control of your vehicle which will keep you safe.   The fringe benefit of all this is that you can now take in what nature has to offer.  As with all the snow hanging from the trees it is just beautiful.  Amazes the mind one could say.  But keep your eyes on the road too.  Enjoy your day my friends, stay warm and safe.   You can reach me George Walters at… [email protected]

Good Morning:  Well I said temperatures were going to drop which they have. This morning waking up they were sitting at…-1.4 C | 29.48 F.

Forecast For Today:  Changeable, mending as the day progresses.  Will at the very least have some sunshine with us off and on throughout the day.

Hunting Times:   Today the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there hunting will be from..1:00 PM – 3:00 PM.  Peak times will be at…9:00 AM and 3:00 PM.  The sun rose at 7:58 AM and will set at 6:08 PM.  I give it a 3 Buck Rating out of 5 for seeing a few.  Winds are calm this morning coming in from the North West. It will rise a bit later to around 4 MPH.  Chances are no matter where you sit today you will do well.  Feeding time today will be right at Dusk.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Well once again not to much happening in the way of events and things.  Highway 522 is Bare with a few wet sections after yesterdays rain.  This sun will dry things up in a bit.  Few leaves need to be raked up around our house here now, which will be added to our vegetable gardens along with others.  Makes for some really nice soil come spring. The only ones not to put in your gardens would be walnut, or oak.  I also don’t put in to many birch tree leaves as over the years I have found these to raise the acidic levels up to high.  Same goes for pine needles.  All the rest though are very good for maintaining a good PH in your soil.  When I was farming my old Dad used to say you only get out of your soil what you put into it.  True too.  So my friends enjoy your day, dress warm and try and get out and breath in some of that fresh northern air along with allowing a bit of that sunshine reach your skin.  You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Well not much happening here in Port Loring.  Highway 522 is bare and wet. A few trucks and things moving around but other than that quiet.  Four Wheelers are in abundance with  Deer hunting season edging in on us.  Thinking there will be a lot of folks in the bush this season.  Just one more reason to take extra care.  Also see the OPP out and about checking folks out so might pay to double check your licences and things. Don’t need any law officer taking away ones trophy buck.  Years ago I had something like that happen to me.  I was coming back from Florida and through the mountains a deer run out in front of me.  Few minutes later a Trooper came by asked if I was OK and if I wanted the deer.  I said nope no where to put it.  He then threw it on top of his car marked Sheriff and drove off.  Leaving me standing there with a smashed up car that wouldn’t go anywhere.  Had me thinking there for a few minutes, but about a half hour later he came back with a tow truck.  Said he had to get his family to skinning the deer.  Later on we had a pretty good laugh out of that.   So my friends you have a great day and enjoy the warm weather as it isn’t going to last for much longer.  You Can Reach Me, George Walters at… [email protected]
