Good Morning! It’s another cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. We didn’t have any more snow yesterday or overnight. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -6.4 C | 20.48 F. Not too bad, and it will warm up even more as the day progresses. It should get up above the freezing mark, which should melt a bit more of our snow. Highway 522 is mostly bare and wet. But there are some snow and ice covered sections here and there. I have also seen a lot of snowmobiles moving around these days. Which shows us that a few are out there enjoying life as it should be. Nice to see.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much yesterday, kind of took it a bit easy. I did work on a podcast that I have in mind, and if I feel up to it, I will finish it today. Other than that, not much else happening in and around our area. With that, I am off for a bagel this morning with my lovely wife, and will then see what develops. You never know what a day will bring. Take care and stay safe.

It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We are also seeing a bit of light snow. It’s possible we could see another inch or so. But in saying that, we could also see a bit of sunshine off and on. Nothing like sunshine to brighten up ones day. Highway 522 is partially snow covered in certain areas. So care will be needed if out and about. On the good side of the coin, the temperature has warmed up with it sitting at -5 C | 23 F. Almost Florida weather.

On another note, I did manage to get our driveway cleaned out yesterday. Not that it really needed it, but it did get me out of the house, so I could clear my head of what is going on these days. I need to do that occasionally. With that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is putting together, and will then see what mischief I can get into.

Take care and stay safe. GW

It’s a cloud morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We are also having some more snow. Yesterday we had about one inch, but overnight we didn’t have any. I would suspect we will be having another inch or two as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is mostly bare, with some snow covered areas throughout. If you’re heading to town, your car, truck what ever will be needing a bath when you return.

Yesterday I worked away here in a Podcast and another story for my newspaper column. Today I will do the same, and I think just to get some exercise later on, I might clean my path that leads to the wood pile, that I use for my shop stove. It’s mostly pine, which I don’t use in our wood furnace.

So with that I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making me, along with a cup of tea afterwords. Not that I am a real tea lover. But I do like something different from time to time. It seems that the older I get, the more coffee bothers my old stomach for some reason. Figures, as it is something that I really enjoy. Never ceases to amaze me, that as we age, the more things that you love, or enjoy are taken from you. Strange. Have a great day. GW

It’s a cloudy, snowy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. By the looks of things, we could get another 3 to 6 inches before it stops. Highway 522 is still bare at the moment, as the snow just started at 7:45 AM. So knowing that and seeing the way it is starting to come down, I would say that travelling isn’t going to be all that good today. Best to stay home and work on some projects that I am sure everyone has a few of. In this country, there is always something that needs attending. Or so it seems.

On another note, I might take some coals from my wood furnace and get my shop stove going later on today. That way things will warm up in there and my snow blower will start easier. As by the looks of things I will be needing it tomorrow. It does have an electric start, but I still like it to warm up a bit before using. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the motor.

Yesterday I finished off another podcast and today will start another. It’s taking me a bit of time getting used to the new microphone set up. So I will be working on that too. These new high-tech items are nice in a lot of ways, but a pain in other ways trying to figure out how they work and go together. Ha Ha. Maybe I am just getting old.

With that, I am off for a boiled egg and some fried potatoes that my lovely wife is preparing for me, along with a cup of fresh perked coffee, and will then get to work Hmm … Maybe I had better put some more wood in the furnace. Getting a little chilly in here. Take care and have a great day. GW
