Good Morning: Well still a bit cool here in Port Loring.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at 7.6 C | 45.68 F.  Will warm up some shortly.

Forecast For Today:  We will have some sunshine along with some clouds throughout most of the day.  There is a chance of a passing shower later on this afternoon and into tonight.

Bug Report:  Lots of blackflies in our area annoying folks which will last for a few more weeks.  Once the dragon flies make their appearance they will be quickly eliminated as the blackflies are their main source of food.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 from east to west is bare and dry.  Travelling is good.

Fishing Information:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then again later on this afternoon from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few this morning and 5 fish rating out of 5 this afternoon.  Great day to bring a few in.  Winds are calm this morning coming in from the South South West.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Few cars in our area but for most parts things are quiet.  Will pick up some with the American Holiday approaching.  Great to see our USA friends edging their way back into our area for the summer.  On another note I did get my gardens tilled up for the first time yesterday.  Looks good and once things warm up a touch at night, it will be a good growing season.  Nothing like fresh tilled soil to enlighten a feller.  Tea time here.  Orange Pekoe this morning with a touch of fresh dandelion roots taken from our yard earlier this morning.  Enjoy your day in ways that suits you best.   You can reach George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Good Morning:  Well find looking day starting off April.  Temperatures were a touch cool sitting at -8.4 C | 16.88 F.  It will warm up as the day moves forward.  Spring is here.

Forecast For Today: Rather unsettled clearing later with some sunshine.  Tonight we will get some freezing rain.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry.  Travelling will be good through most of the day.  Tonight could become quite bad with the freezing rain that is heading our way.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations overnight.

Around Town:  Still quiet around town.  Not many cars or trucks moving up and down the highway.  But that will change in the coming days.  Once the snow has left a whole new agenda starts to take place.   Yards being cleaned up.   Plans for the coming season business wise. Trips to far off places,  Firewood for next year being piled where it is dry.  Gardens being looked at and planned out, and my most favourite, bringing out the old rocking chairs for some front porch sittin’.  I look forward to enjoying a tea chatting to my lovely wife soaking up some morning sunshine.  Tea tor today is from the petals of the Calendula flower.  Great tasting tea for all kinds of ailments, or just to fortify the body for the coming day.  Try it sometime, or better yet grow some this year yourself. In doing so you will have the best of the best tea available to you all year round for free.

Good Morning.  Cloudy morning waking up.  Temperatures though have remained above freezing throughout the night.  Lot of melting taking place at this time.  Temperatures were sitting at; 1.2 C | 34.16 F.

Forecast For Today:  Cloudy, with a possible flurry or rain off and on through the day.  Melting will continue.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare but wet throughout.   Travelling should be okay for most of the day.

Snow Report:  Well over half our snow is gone.  No snow accumulations over night.

Around Town:  Just about time to start thinking on starting some of them seeds from last year.  I like to get mine up a ways which takes time.  Nothing gives me more pleasure than to see them sprouting up out of the soil.  Once it warms up they will be ready to plant in the garden.  Myself I start mine in egg cartons.  I found that the carton itself holds the moisture in the right amounts to sustain the seeds for a good length of time.  Also keeps them separated nicely. Nothing more satisfying than growing your own, especially from seeds.  Enjoy your day and say safe.  You can reach me at                        [email protected]
