Winter storm warning for North Bay – Powassan – Mattawa, Port Loring Ontario

..Significant snow and blowing snow tonight and Sunday..

This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

A low pressure system centred over Eastern Iowa is tracking east towards the lower Great Lakes and will intensify into a winter storm as it reaches Southern Ontario by Sunday night.

An expanding area of snow will reach Sault Ste Marie and Manitoulin areas by this evening then rapidly spread northeast into remaining regions tonight. As the low pressure system deepens, the snow is expected to become heavy at times Sunday and continue Sunday night into Monday as the low pressure centre moves north into Québec. A general snowfall of 20 to 30 cm is quite possible by Monday morning across most of the district.

In addition, strong and gusty northeasterly winds are expected to develop and these will whip up the freshly fallen snow resulting in blowing snow in exposed areas.

Travelling conditions are expected to deteriorate quickly tonight. Hazardous driving conditions from low to at times nil visibility in heavy snow and blowing snow are quite possible. Motorists should adjust travel plans accordingly.

First Heavy Snow Fall In Port Loring Ontario

Well put my snow blower in the shop to warm up last night and good thing too as we got dumped on pretty good.  Sure is pretty out there, so wife took a few pictures of our home draped in a winter wonderland.  Thought we would share. Also had my new hat on my Son Craig and Daughter In Law bought me. Oh and new gloves too and they are also very warm. I guess I complained to much about my ears getting cold to them.  Any ways don’t look on the pretty side but it sure is warm.  Click pictures to enlarge.

Global Warming Hmmmmm

Well was talking to my friend the other day who is a highly educated scientist dealing with weather.  I was asking him what he thought of all this ice melting in and around the north pole.  He sent me a couple pictures of how things really are.  Take a look at the pictures click to enlarge, then take a look at the dates below.   Should get you to thinking.  Oh, should say that white on the picture is ice and snow.

Cool Couple Days Here In Port Loring

Well we have had a few cool days here in Port Loring, but don’t worry it won’t last.  Warmer weather is on the way for the weekend and winds changing to the South, South West which by the way is what you want for some good fishing. Old saying is, that when the wind is from the West, fishing is at its best and that is so true.   Can’t wait to get out there.  Today though I did put a two stick fire on in the old wood furnace to take out the dampness in the basement and the house and have to say it sure felt good too.  Seems as the years pass, I  feel the cold more.  Guess the old blood is thinning out a touch.  Not much now mind ya, don’t want you to think I am getting too old.   Again your only as old as you feel and I have to say these days I have been feeling pretty good.

Grass is sure growing though let me tell ya and it is a full time job getting it cut every week.  I have around an acre and a half to cut.   But I enjoy doing it and keeping things up around the house.  Nothing better in my eyes than to get out in my gardens and do some hoeing or what ever.  Makes my day with the smell of the fresh soil and sun just a shinning.  What more can a feller or gal ask for??  Vegetable garden is doing really well so far, got tomato plants around three feet high, just need some sun to get them blossoms turning into tomatoes.  I am confident though that we will have all we need.  Long range looks good.   Coffee time here, fresh perked Nabob Tradition is my favourite, have a cup or two every day.  My lovely wife looks after that end of things.  Look forward to it too.  Should also say a cup or two is good for ya and helps keep Alzheimer’s away.   In Closing I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Happenings At The Walters House

Well cool morning here this morning.  Down to around 54.  Old bones feel it too, so started a two stick fire to take the chill out.  Feels good too.  Vegetable garden is doing great this year even with the above normal temperatures when I was planting.  I like to ease my plants out into the garden so they get accustomed to the soil slowly.  But this year it got hot and stayed hot for a couple weeks.  One then has to just keep them watered and hilled up and problems are solved.  Road work here in Port Loring is going to schedule and should have our new highway all paved by the end of August.  Don’t really like all the construction, but one has to take a bit of not so good items to get to the good items.  Will look nice when all said and done and a heck of a lot smoooooooother.  Well you folks have a great day.  Raining here this morning as well as the cooler temperatures.  So think I will get my fishing gear all ready to go for the season.   Season now is open for pike and pickerel but I like to wait till them pesky black flies take to leaving.   Also Bass fishing will be opening the fourth Thursday of June, so lookin’ forward to that.  Talk Soon
