It’s a sunny day here in Northern Ontario, Canada. It looks nice, but it’s still cold with the temperature waking up sitting at, -12.8 C | 8.96 F. It will remain cold pretty well all day. This should be the last day of the real cold weather, as things will begin to warm up well above the freezing mark starting Tuesday. Highway 522 has some snow and icy covered areas throughout. Travelling today, should be fair once the sun warms the pavement. On the not good side of the coin, late in the day and into tonight, we could see another three inches of snow, which will linger around into Monday. Myself, I am ready to wake up to green instead of white.

On another note, I was kept busy yesterday helping my lovely wife move things around in our home. Getting things ready for our small gift shop that we want to open come spring.

Other than the snowmobiles, not much else happening in and around our small town.

With that, I am off to put a piece of wood in our wood furnace along with feeding our birds, as they are sitting on our porch railing, looking in at me. After that, we will see what the day has in store. Have a great day. Don’t forget, the time moves forward after midnight tonight. GW

It’s a sunny day here in Northern Ontario, The temperature isn’t all that bad, neither. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at -3.4 C | 25.88 F. And it will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. Feeding our birds this morning, I could feel the warmth of the sunshine on my face. It felt good too. Feeling that is a sure sign, that the warm weather isn’t that far off. Highway 522 is bare and mostly dry this morning, which will make travelling good.

On another note, now that the weather is starting to head off into the right direction, my wife and I are going to start getting our small Gift Shop in order, so we can have a Grand Reopening. Which should be around the 24th of May if things goes to plan. We have been close because of this virus now for over two years. We are looking forward to seeing all our friends that usually always dropped by for a visit, along with new folks. I will do some special posts here on my Blog of how things are going occasionally.

With that, I am off for some homemade waffles that my lovely wife is making me, and will then get to work. Lots to do now that things are warming up. Have a great day and stay safe! This virus is still out there, not as bad as the earlier strains, but it still has the potential of making a person pretty sick. GW

It’s a sunny morning here in Northern Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -8.1 C | 17.42 F. It will warm up to just above the freezing mark as the day progresses. Which will make it nice for cleaning all that snow we had yesterday. In some places in our driveway, we had close to ten inches or so. Knowing that our old snowblower will be kept busy for a while this morning.

Highway 522 is snow and ice covered throughout this morning, which won’t make travelling all that good. The snowplow had been through though, by the way the end of our driveway is looking.

On another note, I worked here at my computer most of the day yesterday. I worked away on things that weren’t really necessary, and before I knew it, the day was shot. That’s the way it goes sometimes.

Not much else happening around our small community and with that I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is fixing me, and then we will get to cleaning out our driveway and decks. That should keep us busy for most of the morning. Have a great day! GW

It’s another snowy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. We didn’t have any snow overnight. We could see up to 8 inches of the white stuff before it ends tonight. It is coming down pretty good at the moment.

Yesterday we lost a lot of the snow with it being so warm along with the rain. Highway 522 is partially snow covered, and I suspect by the way it’s coming down, it will get worse as the day moves forward. It’s a good day to stay home. You also have to be very careful when walking, because under that snow is solid ice, and it is slippery.

On another note, yesterday I worked away once again here at my desk. Today with the way the weather is looking I will do the same. I also brought in a couple wheelbarrow loads of firewood from our pile outside, as we were getting a bit low in the basement. That gave me some much-needed exercise, as I had to carry it down the basement stairs. At the moment there is too much snow and ice where I usually put it in through the basement window.

With that, I am off for a boiled egg with toast that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day is offering. Have a great day, make it a great day. GW
