Happenings In And Around Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning:  Well not to cold this morning in comparison to what we have had.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at -13.3 C | 8.06 F.

Forecast For Today: Some Snow and a bit of sunshine, very unsettled.

Long Range Forecast:  Looks like this will be the last week of cold weather.  After that things will be warming up quite quickly.  We could see a winter storm and some cold weather Mid-March.  But it will be short lived.  Winter is about done with us here in Port Loring.  OK by me.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 as of now is bare for most parts throughout. Travelling should be OK today.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations overnight.

Ice Fishing Times:  This Morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good day for fishing.  Enjoy it while you can.

Around Town:  Still very quiet.  Stores are slow other than the folks selling fuel.  Snowmobiles keep them busy, reason being we only have two places you can buy gas here in our area. One here in Port Loring and One in Arnstein. Today just going to take things easy, work on this new health book and just let the day take me where it wants too.  Rough life huh?  Chaga coffee is on the menu for this morning.  Can’t get much better than that.   Enjoy your day and stay safe.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Happenings In Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning:   Well nice looking day out there.  Sun is shining with temperatures waking up sitting at -13 C | 8.6 F.

Forecast For Today: Fairly fine, possible snow early.

Snow Report:  No accumulations over night.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is pretty well bare from highway 11 in.  From Highway 69 there are some hard packed snow areas with some icy sections.  Travelling today should be OK.

Ice Fishing Times:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there with pole in hand will be from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then once again a bit later from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few today.  Great day to be out there on the ice.  Enjoy it while you can.

Around Town:  Our last trip to Florida I happened along an old lumber yard, so of course being who we are wife and I, we went in to have a look around.  Way back in one corner of a room I spotted a few old bottles of Coke.  I asked if I could look at them and the old feller said.   “Sure,” and opened up the door even further so I could have a good look.  Here is what I saw and thought I would share it with you.  Click Pictures to Enlarge.  I would think you will be impressed as I was.  Great collection and every bottle unopened.  Enjoy your day, stay safe and try and soak up a wee bit of that sunshine.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Happenings In & Around Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning:  Once again it is very cold here in Port Loring.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at, -28.9 C | -20.02 F.

Forecast For Today: Unsettled, probably improving with some  sunshine.  Remaining cold all day and into tonight.

Snow Report:  No accumulations over night.

Highway Report:  Highway does have some bare sections with a few hard packed snow sections.  Travelling should be good today.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM.  Then again later on from 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Yesterday my wife and I managed to get the driveway cleaned out.  Took some doing as the wind I guess caused it to drift in quite deep in some spots.  But it got done and we didn’t need any more exercise for the remainder of the day.  Today will stay in looking out being so cold.  Great to have a warm house, along with lots to keep ones mind active.  The main thing in life is to have something to look forward to each morning which we do.  Also one shouldn’t let other folks bother them.  When some one plays on my nerves I just smile and walk away and forget about them, as in reality they don’t mean anything to me.  My grandfather had a good saying which I have used many times throughout my life.  Here it is.  Why should the way I feel be dependent on what you think?  Have to say I have used it many times over the years with good results.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Happenings In And Around Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning:  Well cold this morning but not as cold as it has been.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at.  -19.2 C | -2.56 F.

Forecast For Today: Unsettled, probably improving as the day progresses. It will become quite cold tonight and into tomorrow.

Snow Report:  Over night we had around 2 inches. With the winds we had yesterday there is some drifting in certain areas.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is snow covered for most parts.  Care should be taken if out and about but travelling should be OK as the day progresses.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then once again a bit later from 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.   Good Luck!

Around Town:  Quiet and not much happening in and around our District.  This morning it looks like our driveway needs to be cleaned once again.  Seems to be the trend these days.  But it does give one the exercise they need to stay fit.  Coming in from the cold the wood heat immediately makes you feel warm all over.  Nothing can beat it when it comes to getting warm. For most of my life I have heated with wood and will continue to do so till, well, lets not think on them lines.  This year I had a whole house humidifier installed onto my wood furnace and what a difference.  One now can keep a smaller fire going as with the humidity in the air you feel just that much warmer.  So often I see homes with out it and folks complaining about being cold.  With all forced air furnaces I would say in this country it is a must.  It is also very healthy for you relieving all kinds of conditions that can irritate a person.  So think on that for a bit and if you can wrangle it through your financial situation get it done.  You will enjoy winter just that much more.  What you safe on your heating fuel will more than pay for it.  Oh just make sure it is installed properly.  Very important.  Tea time here, Chaga is on the menu with a touch of chicory.  Good for what ails a person along with giving one the energy they need to enjoy their day.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Snow Report:  We had another 1/2 inch last night.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is covered with light snow with some icy sections throughout.  Care should be taken but travelling should be good.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Not much happening.  Stores are all quiet.  But in one sense that is  good thing.  Gives one a chance to draw in the energy that will be needed for summer,  Which isn’t to far off.  I am thinking things will start to warm up  within the next two weeks.  After that the snow will be leaving us quite quickly.  So you had better put that snowmobile to good use if your into that sort of thing.  Tea time here, Turmeric is on the menu for this morning with a touch of organic honey.  Enjoy your day, stay warm and safe.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
