Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cold morning here in Port Loring Ontario. Quite a change from yesterday that’s for sure. From temperatures way above freezing to below freezing this morning. Highway 522 is partially bare, but there are a lot of icy sections throughout. So care will have to be taken if out and about. But then again … care should be taken at anytime. LOL On another note I didn’t do too much yesterday as didn’t feel up to par. And this morning not much better. So going to take it easy for a spell. There is always something to slow a feller down. On another note with it being so cold I lit the house wood furnace this morning along with the shop stove. Saves some oil that we will be in need of once it warms back up again. Which won’t be until next week. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The good news is we didn’t get any more snow through the night. But in saying that, we could see some snow throughout the day. I don’t think there will be too much with the temperature being above freezing. But you never know. Temperatures will drop through the night, and tomorrow and the next day will be quite cold. But looking ahead one week from today things really start to change for the better, At least temperature wise. So … we will just have to wait it out. Getting out of bed the temperature was sitting at -0.2 C | 31.64 F. A touch above freezing. Highway 522 is bare and wet with a few icy sections here and there. On another note I worked in the woodworking shop on a few things yesterday and will do the same today. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then get to work, or?? LOL Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s another snowy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. We didn’t have any through the night, which is a good thing. It started around 7:00 AM this morning. I suspect we will be getting another three to four inches when all said and done. I have to say … we sure have had our share of snow this year. But on the good side of things, it is going to start to warm up, as temperatures will rise well above freezing as the day progresses, and well above freezing tomorrow also. And … if we are real lucky, we should see some sunshine tomorrow too. If temperatures rise as I think they will, my lovely wife and I might get some front porch sittin’ in tomorrow. That would be nice, and it is much in need of, with this virus amongst us. Highway 522 is snow covered with icy sections throughout this morning. Care should be taken if out and about, that’s for certain. On another note, my wife and I took a trip to North Bay yesterday to pick up our groceries that we order online. I have to say, there was sure a lot of traffic around town. The Walmart parking lot was full. So that tells me people aren’t doing what they should be doing. Not that I mind them shopping, just not now. Especially when that new variant is starting to get a good foot hold there in town. My wife and I never went into any stores, as we just order from home online, and they bring it to our car. You know … once this is over, we are planning on carrying on the same way. We think it is great. Order online, they put it together for us, and bring it out to the car. What could be better than that? Not much in my books. And the great thing is, we save money doing this way as we don’t purchase a lot of things we don’t really need. It’s called impulse buying. LOL The price of groceries is actually terrible right now. I am thinking that some stores are taking advantage of things. Anyways, we got our groceries, went through a drive through there in town. Picked up our son a sandwich, along with ours, and ate and talked to our son on the phone, all the way home. Kind of nice. I have to say, since this virus hit we have talked to our boys more now than ever before. If anything it has brought us closer together. Do you think there is a message there? LOL With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal with my little woman, and will then see what the day has in store. You just never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! Starting things off, the sun is shinning here in Port Loring, Ontario, this morning. I have to admit, it sure looks pretty out there, with the sun, and all the snow we have had for the past two days. The branches on the trees are just hanging with so much snow on them. The temperature this morning is a touch cool sitting at -13.3 C | 8.06 F, It will warm up some as the day moves forward. Also, it should be noted that by the weekend, we will have some more snow, not too much just a couple inches. But the good news is on Sunday it could reach as high as 40 Degrees Fahrenheit. We might even get in some front porch sittin’ Highway 522 is snow covered with lots of icy sections throughout. So care will have to be taken if out and about. On another note yesterday we stayed inside for most of the day, other than walking to the shop to feed my stove. If nothing else it gave me some exercise along with some fresh northern air. I have to say we sure had our share of snow the past two days. I would say around another 8 to 10 inches. More in certain locations. Like up in front of my woodworking shop. It seems to pile up there more than anywhere else. This morning after breakfast we will get busy and clean things up. I suspect it will take most of the morning, and maybe a bit of the afternoon, with their being so much. Kerry my friend who is cleaning my driveway is running out of places to put the snow. I would say it is the most we have had in the past 16 years. Not complaining mind ya, as we knew moving here years ago what to expect. Of course, we were younger than we are now LOL. With that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife and will then get to work. I can hear my snowblower calling me, raring to get to work. Have a great day and stay safe this new variant is closing in on everyone. GW
