Well cool morning here again. Down to 20 degrees old scale.  Was up through the night stoking the old wood furnace and enjoying every minute of it.  One thing about having the furnace we have, is that the wood is all inside your home nice and dry and easy to get at. So just need to pull on my slippers, no need to dress with coat and boots and strug off to the outside furnace through the snow and cold night air. Could never understand why anyone would even buy one of those things. Well I guess I know, their insurance brokers push it and that’s the reason for most thinking on the subject.  I figure it this way. If we did every thing the insurance brokers told us to do why would one even need insurance.  Well, as I have always said,  it all boils down to money and they sure are making it, hand over fist.  But all things come to an end, even for them, as we are seeing now.  So guess I will go and have a tea, and get back to doing what I love. Enjoy your day. Talk Soon.

Well had our second snow fall for this Fall. Darn cold out there this morning as down to 20 degrees.  Had about four inches of the white stuff.  Sure looks pretty out there though with the snow making the branches on our huge pines just hang.  Good to be alive and kickin.  Talk Soon

Well cool morning here to wake up too.  Down to 20 Degrees with a sniff of snow on the ground. I still go by the old scale, don’t like metric one bit.  All metric did is complicate things that have been prefectly good for hundreds of years, not to forget how many billions of dollars it cost us.  This is one old feller that didn’t change his ways.  Not many of us left out there either.  Got the old wood furnace going here this morning. Had to get up once last night and throw a couple more logs in the furnace.  But I enjoy doing it.  Just going to have a tea here then get back to working on my second book.  Hope you all are well.  Talk Soon

Well cool day here but just a few minutes ago seen a glimmer of sunshine. So might be a nice Sunday Afternoon.  Been so busy the past few days burning brush and things on our piece of property that I haven’t had time to rest, so figured it’s a good day to take a break.  Since I moved here to Port Loring I got to say I never seen a more pretty piece of country in all my days.  Just sitting here looking out my windows is a picture in itself.   Old wood furnace is perking away, and, well, I am just enjoying life with my lovely wife.  Talk Soon.

Well winter isn’t over yet as it’s going to get cold for next week. Talk Soon

If this storm track is right it should hit most of Ontario.

Taken literally, you can say that some of the numerical models loudly argue for a genuine blizzard across the Upper Midwest and much of the Great Lakes this weekend. And while the European version at 12z implied an ice storm threat to the major metropolitan areas of Kansas City MO, Chicago IL, and Grand Rapids MI, there is potential for the storm, and rain vs. snow placement, to take a bit more of a rightward curve that would enable the heavy snowfall, wind and cold combination. With the upper low phasing into a deep trough and vortex, the abundance of 500MB height falls and eastward displacement of the vorticity maxima makes it possible that the surface low will redevelop off of the coast of LI NY. This secondary could help to prevent a shift from snow to rain in much of New England and the Maritime Provinces. Otherwise, the entire warm sector of the giant disturbance will feature heavy rain and strong thunderstorms. The risk of severe weather in Dixie may be limited by a very moist atmospheric profile, but still, strong winds are virtually assured in the tight pressure gradient about the low.

Snowfall totals within the colder quadrants of the gyre may be in the 10 to 15 inch range (caveat: lake-related moisture could enhance amounts in parts of IL, WI, MI, and ON), and a thin stripe of territory just above the storm trajectory axis could be hit with a rather impressive icing event. Following the storm will be about 48 hours of extreme cold that at one point could cover most of the area between the Rocky Mountains and the Eastern Seaboard.

Weather here in Port Loring on this Sunday Morning.

Well not to much on the go here this morning, got the shop stove perking away and now enjoying a cup of coffee or two while figuring my day.   Got lots to do but not sure if I want to but then again the shop gets me out of the house.  Nice to have a place to go and hide and not to mention make a few dollars. Talk soon.

Here is the weather forecast for Port Loring Ontario as of 5:45 PM.

Well we had our January thaw. Some would say now that the Global Warming has hit but I say it’s nothing of the sort.  January thaws have been with us from the beginning of time. Some years are more pronounced than some but for most parts they are about the same.  One thing about this thaw was, I got rid of the ice build up on my roof.  I sure had a lot this year and it was my own fault.  I didn’t shut up the upstairs and the warmth got up there and well that is what causes the ice jams.  So now that it is melted I closed up the old trap door and it should be good for the next couple months till spring hits.  Today was sunny a first for a few days so that was nice to see for a change. Cooler but nice.  Talk Soon.

Well not a bad day here today but calling for a storm later on tonight. Up to around four or five inches of the white stuff is what they are calling for.  Talk Soon.
