Cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We should see some sunshine off and on throughout the day. This coming Wednesday we could have some really not so good weather with up to 6 inches (15.24 cm) of snow and high winds entering into the picture also. So I would think if you need anything in town today and tomorrow are the days to do it. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 0.2 C | 32.36 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry. Today I will continue on with some work I am doing around the house here. Other than that will take things a bit easy today. Have a great day.

We do have a few clouds here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning. We should see some sunshine off and on throughout the day. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 0.8 C | 33.44 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. It should be a really nice day weather wise. Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout which will make it nice if you have to go to town. Myself I have some work to do around the house here which will keep me busy. Then later on when the sun decides to come out I might just wash my car. There won’t be many more days that I can do that. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee. Have a great day.

Cloudy morning with some flurried taking place here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. No accumulations to speak of through the night. That said it has cooled down a lot since yesterday. Highway 522 is partially snow covered so you will have to take car if travelling. It will remain cold today but some sunshine should break through the clouds shortly. Tomorrow it will warm up some. Maybe I might get to wash my car as it is a mess. Temperatures at the time of this post was sitting at -4.7 C | 23.54. My wife and I took a two-day trip to Coldwater Ontario and the roads were perfect. Had a great time did some visiting with friends. Great trip all way round. Now that we are back I have some work to do around the house here and will start up the wood furnace. Saves on the oil bill. Also, the wood heat takes the chills right out of one’s body. Can’t beat it. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and will see what else the day has in store. Have a great day.

We have cloudy skies here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning. We didn’t have any accumulations of snow overnight. Waking up temperatures are quite nice sitting at 0.4 C | 32.72 F. It will rise even more, as the day progresses, which will melt a lot of the snow. Tomorrow will be even warmer. We should see some sunshine off and on throughout the day, which will make things just that much nicer. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if it warmed up, so we could do some front porch sittin’ LOL Highway 522 is bare which will make travelling good. For the past few days I have been writing up stories for my columns and today will be much the same. Once I get them all done up I can get onto some other things I have in mind. Also, Christmas is slowly closing in on us. Man where does time go. Some days to me time almost stops, then other days seem to fly by. I sometimes think we are all connected and part of one universal mind. (Energy) And it controls what we do or think as it so chooses. LOL I have to admit it makes more sense than most of what our scientists think today. LOL At any rate I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will see what the day has in store. Have a great day!

Cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We didn’t have anymore snow through the night. Temperatures have warmed up a bit and at the time of this post they were sitting at -2.4 C | 27.68 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry. So knowing that travelling today should be pretty good. On the good side of the coin things will warm up above the freezing mark and stay there for most of the week which should cut down on the heating bill. If temperatures remain warm the snow could be all gone by the end of the week. But as it is the warm weather won’t last for long so enjoy it while you can. Today I will be working on a story or two for my columns. I like to get them done up for winter, so I can get onto other things I enjoy. With that I am off for my morning chat with my lovely wife and will see what the day has in store. Every morning is like opening Christmas presents. You just never know what a day might bring. LOL Have a great day.

We are having a wee bit of sunshine here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning. But in saying that it is cool. We didn’t have any more snow through the night. Temperatures were sitting at -9 C | 15.8 F at the time of this post. A feller would have to put a shirt on, if they were going outside. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning so the snow plows can have a bit of a rest today. I suspect we will see some sunshine off and on for most of the day. It would be a good day to go for provisions if needed. Myself I am going to take it a bit easy today, and if the urge hits I might write up a story or two for my columns. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and bug my lovely wife for a bit. Have a great day.

Sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. But it is cold with temperatures sitting at -15.6 C | 3.92 F. It will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. Not by much though. Through the night we didn’t have anymore snow. Which is okay with me. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, the snow plows finally got things cleaned up. Total snow from our last episode was around 5 inches (12.7 cm). It took my wife and I most the morning yesterday to clean the decks and driveway along with helping a friend clean her deck. After that I was hurting a bit, so I will take things a bit easy today. Sometimes too much work isn’t a good thing. LOL. Seems the older I get the more I feel things. My mind says things are like I was around 30 but my body says different. LOL. At any rate, rest is my objective today. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Have a great day.

It’s a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures were sitting at -3.3 C | 26.06 F. Tonight will be very cold and it will stay with us into tomorrow. On the good side we should see some sunshine as the day moves forward. Always nice to have some sunshine. At the moment it is cloudy with light flurries. Highway 522 is snow covered with icy sections throughout. The snow plow just went by but the highway is still partially covered. So care should be taken when out an about. Today my lovely wife and I will get busy and clean off our decks and our driveway. That should be enough exercise for the day. Once done maybe a nice hot drink will be in order. With that I am off for a bite to eat and will get my body into work mode. Have a great day.

Cloudy morning here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada. We did have around 3 inches (7.62 cm) of snow through the night. At the moment we are having a few flurries and it will continue throughout the day and into tonight. Tomorrow we should see some sunshine, which would be nice. On the good side of the coin it isn’t as cold this morning with temperatures sitting at -3.5 C | 25.7 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is snow covered with icy sections throughout, so care should be taken if out and about. Yesterday my wife and I went to North Bay for provisions which one has to do now and then. The stores were quite busy which tells me folks are spending money. The price of things nowadays have sure risen and I also found the quality of the vegetables aren’t that great. In some stores the fruits and things were laying there rotten. A person has to take care in what they are buying these days. But there are bargains to be found if you look hard enough. Also, while there we had lunch with our son Karl and caught up on a few things. Always nice to see him. Our other son Craig is so far away it is hard to visit him, but we do chat on line now and then. There is something to say for modern technology. With that I am off to put some more wood in my wood furnace and then will see what the day has in store. Have a great day.

It’s not a bad looking day here for us in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We do have a wee bit of sunshine sneaking through the clouds. It is cold though with temperatures sitting at -13.6 C | 7.52 F. Today we shouldn’t see too much snow but later on in the afternoon and into tonight there are warnings up for more snow. So just when you think we are going to have a few days of sunshine Mother Natures does what she wants. Things will remain this way for most the winter now with not really knowing what is going to happen. Joys of living in the north. Highway 522 in Port Loring is bare and dry this morning so travelling will be good until later on in the day. Today I will finish up some work around the house here. Have a great day!

We are having a wee bit of sunshine this morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. For how long its anyone’s guess. Temperatures are cold sitting at -14.1 C | 6.62 F. The coldest morning so far. Highway 522 is partially covered with light snow … and some ice. If this sun stays with us it should melt for better driving as the day moves forward. We didn’t have any snow overnight and as of now we have around 4 inches (10.16 cm) on the ground. We could see a few flurries throughout the day. With temperatures being so cold my old wood furnace is feeling good these days. Heat from wood seems to warm every part of the body. Especially when you come in from the outside. Today I will take it a bit easy. Maybe write up a story or two if I think of one. Over the years I have written so many it’s hard coming up with one that gets me going these days. With that bit of information under your hat, I am heading off to put some feed in my bird feeder and then into me. Maybe a cup of fresh perked coffee after that. Have a great day.

Cloudy cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures were sitting at -9.9 C | 14.18 F. We could see a wee bit of sunshine off and on throughout the day if we are lucky. But for most parts it will be cloudy and remain cold. Tomorrow will be much like today with a few flurries entering into the picture late in the day. Today I will be working away in the house, I have a few things that need attending. Other than that not too much happening. Highway 522 is bare with a few icy sections throughout, so care should be taken if out and about. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great day.

Not a bad morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada, other than being cloudy along with a few light flurries. On the good side of the coin the warmer weather through the night has melted over half of what we did have. So that will make things just that much easier for cleaning the driveway. I like the idea of … Mother Natures put the snow here …. let Mother Nature take it away. Like today once in a while she cooperates. LOL Temperatures waking up were sitting at 0.3 C | 32.54 F. Temperatures won’t rise much above what it is now. Highway 522 is pretty well bare throughout at this time, which will make travelling not so bad. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will see what the day has in store for us.

Cloudy, Cold, Snowy morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures getting out of bed were sitting at -1.1 C | 30.02 F. Through the night we had around 4 inches (10.16 cm) of the white stuff and I don’t mean sand. Today we will see more until it tapers off to flurries. Tonight should be clear, but you never know in this country. Highway 522 is a mess at the moment, as the Snow-Plows haven’t passed our house as yet. So care should be taken if out and about. It is snowing pretty good at the moment. Kind of day that makes a feller want to stay in and look out. Yesterday I did a bit of work in the basement cleaning up things and today I will finish it, then get on to writing stories for my columns. I start off with that in mind but seems something always heads me into another direction. I suppose we will have to clean the driveway too in the near future. Joys of owning a home. With that I am off to put some more wood in the wood furnace and feed my birds. LOL Kind of nice looking out and watching them while we eat our meals. Have a great day and stay safe.

Yesterday I got a few things done up in the basement and today I will write up a story or two for my columns and magazines. It’s the kind of day that I don’t mind staying in where it is warm.

This morning Port Loring, Ontario, Canada was greeted with sunshine for a change. Laying in bed looking out at the sun rising in the East, kind of gives a feller the incentive to get out of bed. It is cold out this morning, with temperatures sitting at -6.9 C | 19.58 F. The good news is we didn’t receive the snow they said we would be getting yesterday. I would say we have around 2 inches (ca. 5 cm) But in saying that we could see some more snow on the weekend along with colder temperatures. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, so for those wanting supplies in North Bay or ? This would be the day to go. My wife and I are stocked up for a while. It pays to have extra food on hand in this neck of the woods, as you never know what the weather will be from one day to the next. As the say goes … if it is going to snow it will snow in Port Loring. I found that to be true. With that I am off to split a wee bit of wood for my wood furnace which will keep us warm for the day. I found with this new wood furnace we had installed a couple years ago it doesn’t take a bunch of wood to heat the house. No use burning more than you need. Then I will see about pestering my wife a bit. Isn’t that what husbands are supposed to do? LOL have a great day. GW

Cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. But we could see some sunshine off and on. Showers are in the forecast for today and tomorrow we will see some more snow. We could see 3 inches (7.62 centimetres) or more. It depends on which way the snow tracks. But for us 3 inches (7.62 centimetres) is really nothing. Temperatures today were sitting at 2 C | 35.6 F. It won’t warm up much more today and will start dropping as the day progresses. On another note looking out Highway 522 is busy so that tells me there is an accident on Highway 69. Lots of trucks and cars heading East isn’t normal for our area. So taking a look at things, I was right. Here is the notice:
Published Tuesday, November 5, 2019 8:53AM EST Last Updated Tuesday, November 5, 2019 8:58AM EST SUDBURY — Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say a crash on Highway 69, south of Sudbury, Tuesday morning has caused the road to close in both directions. Police say it happened in the northbound lane of Highway 69 approaching the turnoff for Highway 529 near Pointe au Baril. As a result of the collision, the highway is closed in both directions between Key River and Parry Sound, due to two vehicles blocking the road around 8 a.m. Reopening time is unknown at this time.

A rainy day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Rained off and on through the night and will continue to do so for most of the day. There is some ice mixed with it and a flurry or two now and then. It’s kind of mixed bag of weather this morning. But that is the way things go at this time of year. Temperatures are trying to find a norm and until that happens we here in the north can expect anything. I don’t think we will see the sun much until Thursday, but with the sun also comes colder weather. Temperatures at the time of this post is saying 1.2 C | 34.16 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and wet with the odd icy section, so care should be taken. You never know when you might have to stop quick, especially in this neck of the woods. Today I will stay inside where it is warm and see about writing up a story or two. Great weather to be doing that. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife and will see what develops. Have a great day!

It’s kind of cool here this morning in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is trying to show itself and if we are lucky we might just have some clear skies for a change. But looking at the long range tomorrow is rain once again, then colder weather, following that with more snow. Hmm, just what we need. Waking up temperatures were sitting at -0.5 C | 31.1 F. I have to admit I miss sitting on my front porch with my morning cup of coffee, and winter is just starting. Those snowbirds might be on the right track heading off to warmer areas. Highway 522 is pretty well bare but there are some icy sections here and there. But for most parts travelling should be pretty good today. For us we will be staying home enjoying the warmth of our home. As I type the sun shinning through our pines is looking good. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee. Have a great day.
