Snowfall warning for
North Bay – Powassan – Mattawa continued

Significant snowfall tonight.

A low pressure area is forecast to develop over the Great Lakes ahead of a cold front. Snow is occurring across a wide swath of central and northeastern Ontario. It will continue tonight and give 15 to locally 20 centimetres of snow to the North Bay region by Thursday morning. As of 6 PM North Bay has reported 5 centimetres. It will gradually taper off Thursday morning to a few flurries.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution due to accumulating snow and reduced visibilities in drifting and local blowing snow.

Well not as cold this morning but more snow is in the forecast they say.  Sheesh we got over a good foot already. Since we moved here to the north this is been the worst for snow and cold weather. Not that I am complaining mind ya as we love it up here.  We also put away for winter, meaning food and firewood, so we are set pretty well for what ever mother nature can throw at us.  Good way to be. Also good to be prepared for other things to.  Well better get back at my new book.  Editing, editing, editing, is on the menu for the next few weeks. But it all gets done.  Just enjoying life here. Talk Soon

Well still cold here hovered around 14 degrees here all week.  Working away here on the upcoming new book.  Lots to do but enjoying it.  Take each day at a time as if I was looking at the whole picture it would just overwhelm me too much.  My wife too has been busy working on all the sketches for the book which in itself is a huge project but as me she takes it as it and enjoys it as it comes.  Great team we are huh?

Well cool morning here again. Down to 20 degrees old scale.  Was up through the night stoking the old wood furnace and enjoying every minute of it.  One thing about having the furnace we have, is that the wood is all inside your home nice and dry and easy to get at. So just need to pull on my slippers, no need to dress with coat and boots and strug off to the outside furnace through the snow and cold night air. Could never understand why anyone would even buy one of those things. Well I guess I know, their insurance brokers push it and that’s the reason for most thinking on the subject.  I figure it this way. If we did every thing the insurance brokers told us to do why would one even need insurance.  Well, as I have always said,  it all boils down to money and they sure are making it, hand over fist.  But all things come to an end, even for them, as we are seeing now.  So guess I will go and have a tea, and get back to doing what I love. Enjoy your day. Talk Soon.

Well had our second snow fall for this Fall. Darn cold out there this morning as down to 20 degrees.  Had about four inches of the white stuff.  Sure looks pretty out there though with the snow making the branches on our huge pines just hang.  Good to be alive and kickin.  Talk Soon
