Still  quiet out there.  For most parts a lot of folks are having a hard time starting their old cars. Myself I plug mine in every night, as with the temperatures we get in this country it is sure hard on a car or truck starting them up cold.  One might think it costs a bit for hydro but end results folks, it is easier on the pocket book plugging them in.  Myself these days I am into doing some shop work.  Got the old wood stove perkin’ away yesterday and today will get to making my flutes and things for our small store for spring.  I enjoy working away out there, gives me a purpose in life one might say.  That’s just one of many I enjoy though.  Well tea time here, one of my most favorite times enjoying a tea and chatting to my lovely wife.  So you have a great day and dress warm if your going outside.  Don’t need anyone catching a cold.

Still quiet around town, see  a few folks heading off to their favorite church this morning being Sunday.  For my wife and I we take each day as it comes to us and treat it no different than any other.  With nature all around us what more could a fellow or gal ask for.  New years resolutions are being made today in hopes to better ones self, but there again my wife and I let things lie where they want.  Old saying is that you can make plans for the future, just don’t plan the results.  I like that one and has worked for us for many a years.  I also like another one, not a saying really, but words of wisdom my old Dad told me many years ago. “George,  If your unsure of what to do in life pertaining to a certain item, do the research, then ask as many folks as you can of how they think on the subject, then if say, 80 % like it one way, you then take the other.  Reason being that 80% of the world is wrong in their thinking.”  You know for four generations our family has used them words or most of us and the ones that has looking at them today, are pretty well off.  Maybe not with a lot of money, but well off enough with their meaning of life, food on the table, a warm home and values that are in abundance.    Have a great day my friends and “Happy New Years to ya.”

Not what the Powers That Be would like you to think, but don’t take much to look through their shenanigans LOL So my friends have a great day an will be back here when a new day dawns.

News For Port Loring.

Not much to report, stores are quiet here in town, not many trucks or cars for that matter running up and down the roads.  Hardly even see anyone walking, other than my wife and I as we love to get out for some air every day. Most folks I would think will have their shopping all done up for the year.  But in saying that…..my wife and I was into North Bay yesterday and it was hard to even find a parking spot at the Mall.  So might just be a few last minute shoppers floating around.  For my wife and I we go in every year when it’s busy like that, not to buy much, but mostly for the spirit of things.  Just seeing folks laughing and having fun in picking out their presents sure is a sight to see.  Great time of year to say the least.  Gets us in the spirit of things you could say.   Well today just going to take it easy some and enjoy what the day brings us.  Have a great day folks.

Winter Storm Watch For Port Loring & Surrounding Areas

Just when you think spring is making a come back,hmm……..well old Mother Nature has to have her say now and then too.

.Snow at times heavy tonight into Wednesday..

A low pressure system currently located over Northern Texas will track slowly toward the Great Lakes regions tonight. Snow in advance of this system will spread northeast this evening and is expected to continue into overnight and Wednesday. The snow could be quite heavy at times overnight as the low pressure gets closer. Brisk northeast winds of 30 gusting to 50 km/h could give local blowing snow. There is a risk of freezing rain in an area extending from Manitoulin to North Bay as warm air pushes up from the south aloft. Total snowfall amounts with this storm at this time may reach or exceed 15 cm. The snow will taper off from west to east Wednesday night when the low moves to Quebec.

Winter Storm Warning For Port Loring & Surrounding Areas

..Heavy snow and blowing snow threatening Saturday.. An area of light to moderate snow is currently affecting the area giving a few centimetres. The snow should taper off this evening before a more significant low pressure area from Texas brings significant amounts of snow starting overnight as it moves towards Southern Ontario. Snow amounts of 15 to 20 cm are likely with this storm. In addition strong northerly winds ushering in much colder air will also result in very low visibility in blowing snow in exposed areas. There is also a risk of freezing rain overnight. Conditions should improve by Saturday evening. Travelling conditions may become quite hazardous as a result on Saturday. People should be prepared to adjust travel plans as required.

Warm Day Here In Port Loring

Well we got rid of  a bit of ice along my roof edge.   But thinkin’ we will be needing another day or so of warm weather to finish things.  But………they say no, so might have to live with what we got rid of thus far, until spring arrives.  I also am predicting an early spring for us up her in the north. Hate going out on a limb saying that, but if I don’t I will regret I didn’t in the coming days.   Another good thing with this warm weather my wood furnace has been given a bit of a reprieve, which makes me happy as we can ease up on the wood burning.  Now don’t get me wrong we have more cold weather in the future heading our way starting tomorrow, but I am thinking it won’t last.   So enjoy your snowmobile and ice fishing while you can, as old Mother Nature has plans for us know it all humans in the coming weeks.  Ok with me too, as I am looking forward to gettin’ my new cedar strip boat in the water come the 24th of May.  Well maybe not brand new, but new to me after restoring it last summer.  Will write another post on that in the coming days.  Have a good one.

Another Warm Up Heading Toward Port Loring

Well a nice warm up will be heading our way for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Might even get up to around 50 which is ok by me, as I got a lot of ice build up on the edge of my roof.  Only thing is we are going to probably get some rain with it too, as it is only common sense that with warmer temperatures and lots of snow on the ground, both put together causes rain.  But, hey, maybe you can all drag out your barbecues for a day or so and cook up a burger or two.  After Friday though back to some cooler weather, but nothing drastic.  Have a great day.

Our Metric System Was Just A Ploy To Change The Way We Think

Well my prediction of colder weather was right on.  Down to minus 20 this morning old scale not metric.  Now that is cold.   Although my sister Barb out west makes our temperatures look like summer.  Think the time to go for a visit in that country is mid July.  LOL One of these days will do just that too.  Thing is, this metric system has folks minds messed up.  For example they say it is 0 degrees outside.  That sure sounds cold but in reality it is 32 degrees, which is not bad actually and if a sunny day the temperatures in the sun would be around 40.  Same as gas for your car, it says on the sign out front of the service stations, 1.12 cents a litre.  What it should say and what it really is, is $4.48 cents a gallon.   Thing is bringing this metric in to our society was done for a reason.  The reason being that it changed what people thought and think.  They knew the price of things were going to go up and this was one way of getting around it.  Temperature is the same, folks look out the window and see five below 0. Darn I am not going out in that, so they sit in the house putting on the beef.  This is what our Powers To Be want to happen. They want us to become less self efficient and rely on modern medicine and them more and more every day, and it’s working.  More folks are getting sick, more are gaining weight, to many to name.  Not a good things folks, so don’t be fooled about this metric thing, there is more there than meets the eye let me tell ya.  Oh and don’t forget the trillions of dollars that it cost to change us over to metric.  Something like our two languages, French and English, won’t get into that, well maybe one day.  My opinion only.

Colder Weather For Port Loring George’s Prediction

Well we had a few days of warmer weather now we will have about four days of colder weather.  Tonight and tomorrow and maybe the next day the temperatures will go down to below 0 old scale. Then look for a warm up a bit.  Ok with me as I don’t have to stoke the old wood furnace as much when it warms up some. But for the next few days, up through the night is going to be called for.  Have  a great day.

Few Winter Tips

Keep your headlights clear with car wax! Just wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains special water repellents that will prevent that messy mixture from accumulating on your lights – lasts 6 weeks.

Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol! Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence & clarity.

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar! Frost on it’s way? Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water & spritz it on all your windows at night. In the morning, they’ll be clear of icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of water—preventing water from freezing!

Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray! Spritz cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors & rub it in with a paper towel.  The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream! Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your windshield & wipe if off with paper towels. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitiser! Just put some hand sanitiser gel on the key & the lock & the problems solved!

Weather Across The USA Jan. 15/2011

Kind of interesting for us weather buffs. Snow is on the ground in 49 out of 50 states – every one except Florida. Forecasters described the storm as a fast-moving and severe, where air pressure has dropped alarmingly quickly. It is characterised by heavy snow and winds thanks to a jet stream extending unusually far south.

Don’t think I have heard of such a thing in all my born days.
