Well if you have been reading my posts here at the blog you would have read where I predicted a storm could be heading our way. Well turns out my prediction is going to be true as today they just issued a Major winter storm warning. Today it will start off being windy with a few clouds. Then we will have a few flurries developing this afternoon. High today will be around 26F. Winds will increase and come in from the East at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow this afternoon around 60%. I expect around an inch or so. Then tonight we will have the brunt of the storm with heavy snow and strong winds. By morning we could have up to 12 inches. I say could as it all as it all depends on a few formalities, like which way the winds will prevail from and barometric pressure. Temperatures will stay about the same as daytime temperatures with a Low of 24F. Winds should remain coming in from the East at 20 to 30 mph. So I would think we will defiantly have a white Christmas folks. Tomorrow will bring more snow also. Barometer is holding stead at 29.21 in Hg. The moon will rise at 12:08 PM & set at 12:24 AM. Moon phase today is; 50% First Quarter. The sun did rise this morning behind some clouds at: 7:57 AM. & will set at 4:36 PM. Giving us here in Port Loring Ontario; 8 hrs. 39 mins.

Still got a wee bit of snow left after the mild temperatures we have been having. Might get a few flurries before Christmas, not exactly sure if we will have a full white Christmas this year though. Hope so. Highway 522 is bare and wet. So would be a good day to head on in to town if your are thinking in that direction. Myself I would like some sunshine, lots of it, as it makes a fellow feel alive and raring to go. I suspect we will see a bit tomorrow. I had two visitors yesterday, took a picture of them feeding.

Quiet as usual here in Port Loring. On a health issue. Many years ago I remember my old Dad saying that he was going to plant a lot of Kale for market. Reason being that Kale is about the most potent healing foods in existence; back then and into today. There isn’t to many foods in the grocery store today that can compare with kale for ones health. My wife and have planted it each and every spring and have indulged in its healthy benefits every evening for supper through out the growing season. You can cook it like spinach or you can eat it raw. We like the tender young leaves raw and the older leaves cooked up, on top of a low heat. Nothing is more healthy for you folks and if you see some in the organic section of your grocery store I can only say this. You will do well to pick some up and get to eating . With the lack of sunshine here in our area it will help immensely in keeping your body & mind healthy and strong. Have a great day.

Well as usual not to much to report around town. Myself just doing some clean ups around the old house and wife is busy with Christmas on her mind. I also have been busy working on our fifth book which will be coming out in the spring of 2013. That will be it for awhile once it is written as I want to work on a health book which folks have been asking for now for over five years. So thinking I will get into that. It will take me a year or so to finish I suspect. Any ways folks, stay healthy, wash them hands after coming out of stores and places where lots of folks congregate. Not using that Disinfectant soaps that make your body sick neither. If you feel the need other than good old hand soap you can use vinegar. It will kill all flu and cold viruses without hurting your body. Enjoy your day.

Quiet not much moving this morning. Can’t rightly say I blame folks neither. Got my driveway to shovel out this morning so wife and I will get our exercise. Don’t really mind doing it when it is light snow but when we get that wet stuff that is a different story. Kind of figure if everyone got out there and cleaned out their driveways when the snow is light, there would be no need for Gyms. Some say it is dangerous to shovel for us older folks. I say take it in moderation, learn your limits then get to it. A little at a time everything gets done. Enjoy your day my friends.

I have to tell you it was so busy one could hardly find a parking spot anywhere and traffic, well….I don’t think anyone works on Friday. LOL Good to see though as folks are out and about and spending money which is a good sign for our stores and their employees. Every check out, one had to wait to get served. Even restaurants were lined up. I would have to say it was busier than Boxing Day. I have always said we should follow the USA and have Black Friday here in Canada, as why not give us Canadians a bit of a break. Well it’s here my friends and there is tons of great deals out there. I saved over $265.00 on one item. A few things I bought as I couldn’t pass up the deal LOL will put them away for future gifts. Also in saying all this folks will stay in Canada and shop which is what we need. Still two days left my friends. Enjoy your day my friends.

Very Quiet around town. I should say though a lot of stores here in Canada are now embracing Black Friday in hopes of generating more money. Good for them I say, as us as a whole needs a few breaks once in awhile. Only thing is that where we live way back in off the beaten trail it isn’t just out the door and into the city shopping. Takes us about 1 1/2 hours to get there. But that’s OK. At any rate there is lots of things on sale today so might pay to pick up a few gifts if that is what you do for Christmas. My wife and I still buy gifts at Christmas, seems my boys still like waking up to a Christmas tree with gifts under it. Even though they aren’t boys anymore. Can’t say I blame them neither. On another note stay dry and warm folks and get into eating your garlic & onions. Good couple items to ward off any of them cold and flu bugs that others are carrying around. I was into North Bay on Wednesday and I have to say that the stores were full of folks with colds. Not feeling well and shopping, well I can live with that. But if one is coughing and sneezing steadily, I figure they should stay home, as that is just not having any consideration for any one else. But now a days it seems folks think different than I do. When you do get back to your car make sure you wash your hands. My wife and I pick up a few of them vinegar packages and she carries them in her purse. Then when we need to get rid of a few germs out they come. Can be used anywhere. Can’t be beat and not harmful to us humans, but deadly for cold and flu bugs. Better than any of them disinfectant soaps they have gotten folks using. Enjoy your day my friends.
