We had two feet of snow here in Northern Ontario, Canada, and more is coming down.

April fools. LOL However, we are having some snow coming down at the moment. I suspect we will get around an inch or so of new snow. Yesterday we got rid of a bunch more and all the ice we had the day before that. The temperatures aren’t as warm today, with it sitting at -3.3 C | 26.06 F. It will arm up a bit more as the day moves forward. We also had some real high winds yesterday that made a mess out on our lawn. But it will have to wait till it warms up some before we get to cleaning things up.

On another note, we are still burning wood in the house and shop. Not that cold, but cold enough to make it uncomfortable. Yesterday I started working on some projects in my woodworking shop and today will carry on. I am making a railing for the top of our stairs here in the house. Which will make things safer for those going up and down. Then after that I will make a banister to hang onto. That should keep me busy for most of the day.
With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe, this virus is closing in on us here in Port Loring fast these days with a lot of folks being sick. I think it will only get worse before it gets better with the masks mandate being removed. My wife and I still wear ours and will continue to do so for the next year or so when going into stores and things. Why? They keep us on the safe side along with others. We couldn’t begin to imagine what it would be like to live with the thought of catching the virus and giving it to someone else. Have a great day.

Good Morning. It’s another cool, cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. Highway at the moment is bare and dry. In saying that we some not so good weather will be moving into our area later on today. Along with the not so good weather, we will be seeing some strong winds.

So knowing all that, I am thinking I will bring in a few wheel barrels of wood for our wood furnace as I am almost out. With the ice they are calling for and the high winds, we could have some power outages. That’s the nice thing about wood heat, we are always warm. No matter what weather Mother Nature throws at us.

On another note, my wife and I had a very busy day moving things around in our home here getting things ready for our new store. I am not sure about you, but we sure have a lot of stuffffff. We are thinking we might have a garage sale early this spring and see if we can unload a bit. Couple pack rats we are. Sheesh. It took us all day yesterday, and we still have more to do today to finish it up. Well it will never be finished, but at least we will know what we have and where things are. LOL.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then get to work. I’m ready, but not sure about some parts of my body. Have a great day. GW

Good Morning!

We are finally seeing some sunshine here in Northern Ontario, Canada. It’s about time. The only issue relating to that … it’s still very cold outside. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at … -10.9 C | 12.38 F. Not as cold as yesterday morning. But cold. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning. And if you are in need of some things in the big city, I would recommend you go today. Reason being, tomorrow we could be in for a bad storm, starting off with snow, moving then to ice and along with all that some very high winds, which could cause some power outages. The reason for this is that a cold front is upon us now, with a warm front moving in alongside it. Which in turn isn’t a good scenario. And then moving into Thursday, things will be a lot warmer, but we will be having some rain. So once again a mixed bag of weather is about to enter into our area.

On another note, my wife and I worked steadily placing our products in our gift shop yesterday. Today we will be doing the same. I also have a lot of computer work that needs doing, so will tray and get to that in my spare time. Then after that, I am going to get my mind focusing on some woodworking projects I have in mind. So lots of things on the go here at the Walters house.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast, that my lovely wife is preparing, and will then get to work. Have a great day. GW

It’s a cloudy, cold morning here in Northern Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at -14.6 C | 5.72 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. But it will still feel cold. Highway 522 is mostly bare and dry this morning. Which will make travelling good. We didn’t have any more snow overnight. So far, I would say we have lost around 75% of our winter snow. Once the temperatures start to warm up again, it won’t last long.

On another note, I worked away here yesterday writing up another story for my columns. Today being so cold, I will do the same. I just don’t feel like working in my old woodworking shop yet. It seems I am feeling the cold more than I used to. Sign of the times, I suppose.

With that, I am off to lite my wood furnace, which will save some of that expensive oil they are selling these days. And after that I will have a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is preparing for me. Stay safe and have a great day. GW

It’s a cloudy, cold morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. The temperature climbing out of bed was sitting at -13.4 C | 7.88 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is now. We also had a dusting of snow, which has covered what green we did have. Highway 522 is partially snow and ice covered. Knowing that care will have to be taken if out and about.

On another note, this cold weather shouldn’t stay with us for too long. I am thinking the middle of next week we should start to see a warming trend once again. Being so cold, I lit our wood furnace this morning, which is starting to make the house feel nice and toasty. It should also be noted that it is windy out there this morning, which will make it feel much colder than it really is. We have lost a lot of our snow though over the past few days and the ice is melting fast on the lakes and streams. About half gone.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal this morning that my lovely wife is making for me, and after that will do some more work here in our small gift shop. It’s coming along. Have a great day and stay safe, this virus is starting to find people now, with everyone going back to what once was. And no one is telling us any more of what is really happening. They don’t want us to know. It’s called mind manipulation. And they are good at it. GW
