Good Morning: Well waking up this morning temperatures were sitting at 0.1 C | 32.18 F.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy with snow off and on most of the day turning colder.  Will be quite cold tonight and through tomorrow as well.  The winds are coming in from the North North West.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is snow covered with some icy sections throughout.  Not a good day for travelling.  I would recommend staying home if possible.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations over night.  It is coming down quite rapidly though this morning.  Blowing snow makes things worse which it is doing at this time.  Winter wonderland out there today.

Ice Fishing Times:  I hear the ice huts are being taken off the lakes in Nippising as the ice is melting quite rapidly these days.  I would think we should follow their example.  Its not worth some one getting hurt for the sake of a few fish.  There will be plenty of time for fishing sitting in a boat.in the near future.  Tomorrow will be the last day for the Ice Fishing Times for this season.  Today though the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then again from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM. I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  If unsure of the ice thickness stay off it.  Good luck and stay safe.

Around Town: There is a Community Paramedical Program in Effect for our area. For all the information click flyer below.  Enjoy your day and with this blowing snow be careful out there.  Good thing is it won’t last for long, seems to be the trend for our area year after year.

Good Morning:  Hope everyone is well on this fine Saturday Morning!  Temperatures waking up were sitting at 2.6 C | 36.68 F.  Not to bad.

Forecast For Today.  There is a Freezing rain warning in effect for: Port Loring – North Bay – Powassan – Mattawa – West Nipissing & French River.  So far nothing has occurred here in Port Loring.  But that could change at any moment.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry so far, but if the freezing rain begins travelling won’t be good.  Kind of just have to watch things and see how they pan out. One of those days.

Snow Report:  No accumulations over night. Melting rate is around 4 inches a day.

Ice Fishing Report:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the be best times to be out there will be from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Great day for catching a few. Being this time of year you should be keeping an eye on the thickness of the ice before venturing out on it. In some places it doesn’t look like it is melting but it is.

Around Town:  Quiet day here hardly a car moving up and down the highway.  Being so cloudy along with the time change folks are sleeping in a touch.  On another note, tea time here.  Just regular English Breakfast this morning. Of all the regular teas it is the one I prefer the most.  Enjoy your day.  You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]
