Nice looking day here this morning. Sun is shinning, birds are chirping and things are warming up slowly. I see the crows are back from their trip south which is a sure sign spring is on the doorstep. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -2.5 C | 27.5 F They are calling for a bit of snow today along with some snow squalls in certain areas. But the good news is, things will warm up even more tomorrow, so if we do get any it won’t last long. Highway 522 is bare and dry as I type but that could change later on. I would say half of our snow has left us. I have been watching our gardens for the snow drops that we have here and there, but haven’t seen any yet. It won’t be long though, and they will be showing themselves. They are a pretty little flower that is the first to come up in the spring, even if there is snow still on the ground. My wife and I enjoy watching for them. So with that I am off to put another log in the fire and then enjoy a nice cup of fresh perked coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great day. GW

For a change it is nice and sunny waking up. Temperatures are a touch cool sitting at -11.7 C | 10.94 F It is supposed to warm up later on. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, so it should be a great day to head off into North Bay for some groceries. Myself I am going to clean my shop this morning. It seems I can sure make a mess of things over winter. Once finished, I will be ready to get to work on some new projects that I want to make. It’s nice having a place that I can go, to get out of the house after a long cold winter. I do have a stove in there which keeps it nice and warm, but on the cold days the house seems like a better option. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great day and enjoy that sunshine. GW

This morning waking up it is cloudy, cold and quite windy with a few flurries thrown in for good measure. You can expect more of the same for most of the day. You know what they say about Port Loring. If you don’t like the weather, wait fifteen minutes. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -1.5 C | 29.3 F With the wind it feels much colder. I was hoping I would be able to stop burning wood but it isn’t the case for today. Highway 522 is bare as of now but that could change. Great day to stay inside. I did manage to wash the car yesterday, which always makes me smile. Something about washing our car I enjoy, maybe it’s preserving our investment. What ever the reason it’s always nice to be outside when it’s a nice day of course. With that I will once again put some wood in the furnace and then enjoy a cup of fresh perked coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great day. GW

Another cloudy day waking up with some mist over Lake Wauquimakog. Temperatures were sitting at; 1.7 C | 35.06 F The snow is melting quite fast these days with about half of what we had gone. It will be nice to see it all gone with green entering into the picture. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning which will make traveling tempting. Myself I am taking life easy as it should be. Why is that? Just because I can. My Dad used to say, after all these years I earned it. With that I am off for a cup of fine coffee and enjoy a pancake breakfast that my lovely wife has prepared. Enjoy your day. GW

To start things off it’s cloudy. But on the good side of the coin it is supposed to stay around the 40F/4C for most the day and into tomorrow, which should eliminate a lot more snow. Waking up temperatures were sitting at -1.1 C | 30.02 F Not too bad. Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout for a change, which will make traveling good. On another note my lovely wife and I took a trip to North Bay yesterday for some supplies. It was a nice sunny day, and we actually had to take our winter coat off. The only downside of things was the roads and side streets in North Bay. I have been in a lot of cities but this is one of the worst for pot holes and snow accumulation along the side of the roads. There was one spot that I was thankful we had 4 Wheel drive as the hole I had to go through full of water and ice was a challenge. If I could have gotten turned around I would have, but as it stood there was no other option. Other than that the day was quite nice. We met our son at Casey’s and had lunch together. It was pretty good. I tried their new meat loaf burger, but they put too much thyme and other spices in it, which I didn’t like. My wife had fish and chips but the fries were not the best, and the fish was cod and very greasy. My son had the half turkey club with a bowl of red pepper soup and Caesar- salad, which was great. If we go back, that is what we will have. Live and learn they say. We did have a nice visit with our son though, which is always a pleasure. After that we picked up what was needed and headed on home. Great day, and it was good to get away from the house for a while. With that I am off to put some wood in the furnace and will see what this day has in-store for us. Have a great day! GW

So … not a bad looking day other than a few clouds getting out of bed. We are supposed to have sunshine today and temperatures should be warming up as the day progresses. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -3.7 C | 25.34 F Highway 522 is bare and dry which will make traveling quite nice for a change. With that I am off to put some wood in the furnace and see what the day has in store for us. Enjoy your day. GW
