Good Morning. It’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring Ontario. There are also some clouds thrown in for good measure. The sun is nice to see, that’s for sure. I can’t wait till the warmer temperatures, start to enter into the picture.

We did have around 4 inches of snow overnight, more in some areas. Highway 522 is snow covered with icy sections throughout. So care will have to be taken if heading to the big cities. With the snow we had last night, it looks as if I will have to wake up my snowblower later on. Which will give me some fresh air and some exercise.

Other than that, not much else happening on this Saturday morning. Hardly a car moving on highway522.

So with that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery. GW

We are finally seeing a wee bit of sunshine this morning, but by the looks of things, clouds and some light flurries are going to move into our area tomorrow. We did have a dusting of snow overnight, but nothing to write home about. Highway 522 is bare this morning, so travelling will be pretty good today.

On another note, it did cool down last night, with the temperature waking up sitting at -19.2 C | -2.56 F. It won’t warm up much more than that for the remainder of the day. We did lose a bit of snow over the past two days, which will help with the spring thaw.

Yesterday I worked away on a story I had in mind, and today will maybe do up another. I like to get a few ahead for my newspaper columns for summer, so I don’t have to be sitting in the house when the weather gets nice.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. You just never know. Have a great day. GW

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. But the good part is … the temperature is sitting slightly above the freezing mark, which will melt some more snow. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at -0.1 C | 31.82 F. It won’t warm up much more than that. Actually things will start to drop later on today bringing in more seasonable temperatures. We are also having some light rain at the moment, and it will continue off and on for most of the day. Which could cause some slippery sections on Highway 522 along with the side roads. So extra care will be needed if out and about.

Being so warm, I let my wood furnace go out yesterday in the afternoon and through the night. If it gets too warm outside, the wood furnace is a wee bit too much. When that happens, I click on the oil furnace, which does a fine job.

Yesterday, my wife and I had a busy day getting some personal things out of the way, which took most of the day. You know, there are times in life that I wished I could do without. The problem is that some of these things has to be done. Anyway … today I am going to work writing up a couple stories if I can think of something to write about. Which will take most of the day. I enjoy writing once the words start to flow.

With that, you all take care and have a great day. In spite of it being a bit gloomy. Every day is what you make it. GW

Good Morning. It’s a partially sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It has warmed up considerably overnight, with the temperature sitting at -2.9 C | 26.78 F. It will warm up a lot more as the day moves forward. We should see a lot of melting of our snow throughout the day. We could also see some rain, freezing rain and then later on some wet snow as things cool down to where they should be. Highway 522 is mostly bare so far this morning.

On another note, I worked away on a couple stories for my newspaper columns yesterday, and will probably do the same today. Just never know, depends on how they come to me. One day I can write up two or three, the next day maybe one, and then there are times that nothing comes to mind. I think it all boils down to what frame of mind I am in.

With that, not much else happening in and around our small town. Have a great day, I am off for a bowl of cereal with my lovely wife and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW

. Once again, it is a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The sun is shinning nicely, but it isn’t helping much at the moment. But when I was outside yesterday, I did notice the warmth coming from the sun, which tells me things are about to warm up. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -22.6 C | -8.68 F at 7:45 AM. Not as cold as yesterday, that’s for sure, but still cold enough. Highway 522 is partially snow and ice covered throughout. Tomorrow we should see a lot of melting as the temperature will rise a lot. Just for a couple of days though.

On another note, I did manage to write up a story yesterday for my newspaper columns and today will work on another. Which should keep me busy for most of the day, and out of my lovely wife’s hair. She has been really busy these days working on some painting orders. And when I get to buggin’ her too much, well ….

So with that not much else happening in and around our area, things are real quiet. Which it should be at this time of year. But it won’t be long and things will start to open back up, with folks opening up their cottages. Myself, I am looking forward to seeing a few friends that comes up every year and drops by for a visit. Along with others. From a distance, of course. Ha Ha. Have a great day and stay safe. GW
