Good Morning:  Well cold morning waking up here in Port Loring Ontario.  Temperatures were sitting at -34.8 C | -26.24 F.

Forecast For Today:  Fairly fine, improving with lots of sunshine moving into the area.  Will remain cold throughout the day warming up a touch for tomorrow.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 has been ploughed but is covered with hard packed snow throughout.  There are icy sections so care should be taken if travelling.

Ice Fishing Times;  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then again a bit later from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck.

Around Town:  With this cold most folks are staying inside.  Coldest day of the year is upon us this morning.  The long range though calls for some cold weather but not as severe as today.  Which is OK by me.  Seems the older I get the less I like the cold.  The sunny south say Florida has a bit more appeal to it.   On another note that was quite a snow fall we had the day before yesterday. I would say we had almost a foot and even more  in some locations.  Took me the best part of the morning to get the driveway cleaned up.  Didn’t need to go for a walk for any exercise after that.  Today being so cold I will work on some inside projects. Now heading off for a turmeric tea. Very good for what ails ya.  Try one sometime.   So my friends, stay warm and safe.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Good Morning:  Well snow has stopped overnight.  I would say we had another good foot of the white stuff through yesterday and into the night.  More so in the drifts here and there.  Temperatures have rose a wee bit sitting this morning at…-8.5 C | 16.7 F.

Forecast For Today:  Rather unsettled clearing later, with a touch of sunshine thrown in for good measure.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there ice fishing will be from 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM.  Then again a bit later on from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is covered with hard packed snow from Highway 11 straight through to Highway 69.  Also there are quite a few icy sections so care should be definitely be taken if travelling.  From Highway 69 in through to Port Loring there is also a few drifts so one should watch for that.

Around Town: Quiet, not much to report on this find Monday morning.  Myself I got a pile of snow to move from the driveway which in turn should give me the exercise which is needed.  And then some.  Seems this year I just get it cleaned out and have to do it again.  I’m ready for spring.  Enjoy your day my friends, stay warm and safe.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is still snow covered throughout with a lot of icy sections. Care should be definitely be taken if travelling.

Fishing Times:  Well some lakes are froze over now but care should be taken if out as thee are areas that aren’t safe.  There have been reports of one incidence where a machine went through.  No injuries was stated. Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for pulling a few in.  Stay safe and good luck.

Around Town:  Hardly a car moving up and down the highway here this morning.   Can’t say I blame them either. Some very good friends of ours in  Panama City Beach Florida said at the moment they were having some cool weather, but still a lot warmer than what we are experiencing. I suspect it be back to warm temperatures shortly. It is nice in the sunny south.  I haven’t found a nicer place in the winter where I would sooner be.   So my friends, have a great day an stay safe and warm.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is packed with hard snow pretty well from Highway 11 to Highway 69.  There is quite a few icy sections so care should be taken.

Fishing Report:  Well ice should be pretty good for ice fishing in some places with all these cold temperatures.  Others where the water runs fast care should be taken.  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then again a bit later from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a two fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck and stay safe.

Around Town:  My wife and I took a drive to North Bay yesterday for a few supplies and things.  Roads were quite slippery but nothing that our Ford couldn’t handle with ease.  Love that 4 wheel drive.  We stopped at some friends for an hour or so who lives way back in where the snowploughs doesn’t travel that often.  But again the Ford Edge out did itself in some pretty drastic conditions.  I was amazed.  In town it was quite busy, even though the roads weren’t that good.  Stores were packed, folks were buying, even the restaurants were lined up.  We had to wait for a half hour at Swiss Chalet for a table.  But it was worth it, as the meal we had with our son Karl was great.  I like their chicken pot pies. Comes with a nice salad and a roll.  Price was reasonable at around $10.00   Even better for wife & I as our son Karl paid the bill at the end of the day.  Even had a nice Chocolate Sunday for desert.  I highly recommend you try one if you are feeling like a treat. You won’t be disappointed.  Had a great day with our son, got our supplies with other items of choice and got back home safe.  Can’t get much better than that.  So my friends you all have a great day.  Keep warm.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]
