Merry Christmas Folks
Well Christmas is almost here. We had the boys up for a visit, the oldest has left for home and the youngest is staying for a week. Had a real good time while they were here just not long enough. Yesterday we had heavy rain but the good part it got rid of some ice dams on my roof. One more day like that would have cleaned it right up. Oh well that’s the way it goes. This morning though woke up to about five more inches of snow so that guaranteed a white Christmas. My speed for the weather station is froze up so won’t be able to upload the wind speed till it thaws out a bit. The directional works though after a bit of work. Talk Soon
Port Loring Weather Station
Looks like a wee bit of sunshine here for today and warming up tomorrow and on Sunday. Kind of hoping for that so the ice dams on my roof will melt. Guess I got to do something about them next year. Talk Soon.

Well temperatures have dropped here since supper and was down to -3Below old scale, rising a wee bit now. Kind of nice though with this wood heat as it is a constant heat. The nice thing also is we have an old gravity fed furnace from years ago. Works great and once you come into the house from outside you are warm. Talk Soon

Man It’s Cold
On the weather forecast below just remember when it says rain this time of year, it really means snow, just that the station doesn’t recognize the word snow. Maybe some day will get one that does. Once the temperature goes above 32F then it will read right.
Well I got to say we had the coldest night this year last night. Got down to around -12 Below old scale. Kind of makes a fellow or gal appreciate a warm house. The old wood furnace here is perking away along with the one in the shop. I keep the one in the shop going, just in case the urge hits to do some work. In this kind of weather though it isn’t to often but it’s nice just knowing I can if I decide to. Keep Warm, Talk soon.

Great Day
Well got up this morning to some cold temperatures of around 10 with light snow. Wife is making a tea and we both are looking out. I got to say every window is like a picture living here in the country. The turnips were a hit last night that I put out yesterday as I think we must have around twenty deer come for a snack. So that’s good they didn’t go to waste. Got the shop stove going and house wood furnace going so things are getting warmed up a bit. One just likes the thick blankets on mornings like this. But life moves on and the wife and I can’t wait each morning to get into our day. Egg delivery this morning also so lots going on. Talk Soon
Port Loring Weather
Well not much going on here weather wise. Snow has stopped and sun has shown itself all day today. Other than being pretty cold as temperatures got down to minus -6 F last night and only highs of around 10 F today it was a good day. I will say this though one sure appreciates his nice warm shop through out the day and his house in the evening after work. Talk Soon.

Snow And More Snow
Well decided yesterday not to clean the driveway though we did have around ten inches or so. Reason being it was suppose to have some freezing rain through the night, so thought ahead, that way the rain will fall on the snow and will be able to clean it all up the next day. Worked slick as if I would have cleaned it yesterday it would have been bare and with the ice it would be slippery. Pays to think ahead once and awhile and keep an eye on what the weather is going to be. I never go anywhere unless I make sure the weather is going to be ok and that saves for a lot of grief. I know though some folks have to drive no matter what the weather but knowing what the weather is going to be can help them also. I am lucky here in Port Loring not snow wise as if any one is going to get snow its here in Port Loring. As we get dumped on with any storm that comes across Lake Huron. But as I said in other posts, it doesn’t bother us one bit as we are ready for anything, well pretty well anything. I also heard that we broke a few records on this fine day with more snow than before. You know we should bring them scientists up here to the north and maybe they wouldn’t be so gong ho on that Global Warming. The old earth will do what it wants with out any help from us. Food for thought. Only thing we ask is for nice weather over Christmas so folks are kept safe. Talk Soon.
Snowy And Cool
Well called for a bad storm last night and it looked as if it was heading our way but so far only got about six inches or so. Could get more as one just don’t really know living here in Port Loring. We get a lot of storms that come off Lake Huron . Got the old shop stove going and once the snow ends will get at the driveway cleaning. Yep winter is here. Talk Soon.
December 1First Coldest Day So Far
Well you can always tell that we live in the great white north when you wake up to -10 Below 0 F Temperatures. Which is -23 below, powers that be, scale. I asked the wife to plug the car in before she came in yesterday and this morning I got to thinking if I plugged the other end in to the shop. Sure enough the car was plugged in but not where there was power. Oh well I do make sure it has enough antifreeze in the old girl, not the wife mind ya, the car, so it should be ok. Just that when it’s plugged in it starts a lot easier and things. Just takes a bit of hydro that’s all. I could cut back there if it became an issue. Got the shop stove going and stoked up the furnace in the house and things are warming up in here. One just don’t like to get out from under the covers on mornings like this. Oh well joys of country living and we love it, keeps one healthy. Talk soon.
Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Well got up to more snow here this morning, I guess we got about six to eight inches of the white stuff. We just love it the wife and I, as we don’t got to go anywhere. Thing about being self efficient, we put enough away to last us all winter if need be and then some. If one really thinks about it you save all way round. The folks in the city could also do what we do and it would save them a bundle, as they wouldn’t be running to the corner store for this and that every day. Just the savings on gas in todays world, is something not to take lightly. But to each their own I guess. Sure looks pretty out there with all the snow hanging from the hug pines. I put out two big bags of suet for the birds and they are just lovin it. Get a lot of Woodpeckers of all kinds and Nuthatches around here and they drop by for a morning meal. Nice to sit here with a tea and look out every day> I don’t know why any one wouldn’t sooner have a life like this, than all the hustle and bustle. Do what you want, when you want and not being told to do this, or do that. It’s possible, one just has to take the right road in life. Well, guess I will go and put a log on the fire, got the shop stove going earlier, so it’s nice and warm in there and ready for me to do some work, if the urge hits. Talk Soon.
Brisk Morning Here In Port Loring
Well I got to tell ya a feller might have to put on an extra tea-shirt this morning going outside, I know I had to getting the shop stove going. Got down to around 1 Degree old scale last night or I guess I will say it -17 C. Hmm Now doesn’t 1 degree sound a lot better. That’s what I keep saying all this metric does is fool people into believing things that aren’t true. Oh well their choice or should say the Powers to be choice as we didn’t have any say in it. Got to go to town this morning so guess get things in order for the trip. Talk soon and keep warm.
Almost A Full Moon
Well we almost have a Full Moon out there, will be here tomorrow. Walking back from the shop tonight I spotted it up above and with that showing itself it will sure make for a cold night. Usually one can tell what the months weather will be if he or she takes notes on what the weather is on a full moon. As what ever it is then that’s what you will pretty well have for the coming month. So that’s a pretty good estimate in my eyes. I have used that way of telling the weather for over 50 years now and well, most the time it’s right, but you know, Mother Nature has a way of sending us what ever she wants. This morning the smoke from the chimney was just hanging in the air and heading towards the ground. One can sure tell when the smoke does that, that it’s going to be a cold day. Also good way to tell us to put on an extra shirt. The next full moon is two days before Christmas, the 23rd. Talk Soon.
