Well a gloomy day waking up but it isn’t that cold outside. At the time of getting out of bed temperatures were sitting at -3.8 C | 25.16 F There is a warning up stating that: Freezing rain will begin early this afternoon. Several hours of freezing rain are expected before it ends later this afternoon or this evening. Then expect cooler weather for tomorrow. We should see some sunshine tomorrow. Highway 522 is partially bare but you can expect some icy sections throughout. The highway could get quite bad later on so it might be a good idea to stay home today. On another note I did manage to get our driveway cleaned out yesterday and raked the roof a bit. Might help some with the melting today. Other than that I don’t have anything else to report at this time. Have a great day and be careful if your out and about. GW

Well temperature wise it’s not to bad a day. Waking up it was sitting at -9.1 C | 15.62 F. There are some warnings up for Freezing rain and snow Monday into Monday night. We did have around three of four inches of the white stuff yesterday. So I guess that means I will be needing to take a few swipes down my driveway with the snowblower. The only good part is this weather makes it so a person that is able gets a lot of exercise. On another note it is time to plan your vegetable garden for the upcoming growing season. Myself I like to mix up my plants which in turn discourages the unwanted pests. The exception to this is where plants require special protection, like cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower, they may be grown together if they are all going to be protected with netting. I like to cover mine early which discourages the caterpillars, taking it off as they get larger. So will leave you with that. Have a great day and if you are driving today watch for the ice later on.

Well it is nice to report that it isn’t as cold this morning with temperatures hovering around -8 C | 17.6 F But on the down side it is snowing with wind making things quite miserable. I am happy that my lovely wife and I went to North Bay yesterday as today the roads don’t look good at all. Yesterday the roads were great,, bare and dry. Actually the sun was shinning for most the day which made our day out quite enjoyable. I have to say though North Bay was a zoo. You could hardly move for people and cars. I have to admit North Bay is growing up. Lots of stores and new ones opening all the time. If they get the Casino built it will make it just that much nicer. Oh I know some say it isn’t such a good idea building it, as it will take money away from those that have a hard time controlling their urges. Well truth be known, folks have to deal with these problems, if it is a problem, and move on. Least that is my opinion on the subject. Snowplow just went by heading East on Highway 522. So roads should be clear for a few minutes. It is snowing pretty good at the moment, but things are suppose to warm up. We will see. Have a good day! GW
