Good Morning:  Very cold morning here in Port Loring.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at -34.6 C | -30.28.

Forecast For Today: A bit of sun early, Snow, very unsettled.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is covered with hard packed snow and ice.  To cold to melt.  Travelling should be OK this morning but care should be taken.

Snow Report:  No new accumulations over night.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is just a shivering out there.  But it still is giving off the report saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:00 AM -9:00 AM.  Then again in the afternoon from 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few this morning and a 4 fish rating out of 5 this afternoon.  Good luck.

Around Town:  Hardly a car or truck moving up and down the highway.  Folks are staying home where it is warm feeding their furnaces and stoves. About all one can do on days like this, as it is just to cold to be outside doing anything.  But it is nice and warm in this old house of ours. New wood furnace we had installed last fall is working like a charm.  Have to say it is one of the best investments I have I made over the years.  So guess that is about it for this morning.  Dress warm if out and about and enjoy your day.  It’s all what you make it. Dandelion Tea here this morning.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Snow Report.  Through the night we had another 2 – three inches of light snow.  In total slowly getting close to 2 feet in some areas.

Road Report.  Highway 522 coming in from Highway 11 is pretty well bare and dry, but it does have some hard packed snow sections.  Coming in from Highway 69 it is pretty well covered with hard packed snow throughout.  Care should be taken if out and about but travelling should be OK.

Ice Fishing Times:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from; 12:00 PM – 3:30 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Should have fish for supper.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Well our Winterfest is in the works starting today.   Scroll down to one of my former posts for all the times and information of what is taking place.  Should make for a fun weekend.  Yesterday we took a drive to North Bay to visit our son Karl.  Also picked up some groceries and things which we were in need of.  Had a great time and a nice meal out too.  Good to get away now and then.   I have noticed over the past few months more organic items are becoming more popular. Which is fantastic. The more that folks buy in Organic, the cheaper they will become. For years the Powers that be said that the world is growing so fast they couldn’t do with out all the chemicals or GMO that they use on and in our veggies and things. It was a necessity. Well that is now proven to be not true. Being a farmer I have fought most my life to eliminate all the pesticides and things as my father before me. I am not blaming these folks as in reality they just didn’t know any better. With the new generation now coming into the picture things have been changing and will change even more. Reason being is that they, the younger ones can’t be fooled. They know what is going on and now they are demanding things change to a more healthy state. Which is a great thing. So again remember, this is my opinion only.  In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.  You can reach George Walters at; [email protected]

Around Town:  Well we had around six inches of new snow yesterday so I am warming up the snow blower so it can do what it needs to do.  I usually clean it by hand but being so cold and the snow being a touch hard, thinking this will be the best approach to what has to be done.   There is a limit of what an older feller can do and the secret to that is knowing ones limits.  So my friends, as said before, but still important.  Try and get outside for a few minutes taking in some fresh northern air and let the sun sink into your skin on your face.  Better than any flu shot bar none.   In closing I would like to wish you well.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
