How you all doing this morning? Good I hope. We didn’t get the snow that they said we would get overnight, but we did get around 6 inches. We could see a wee bit throughout the day, but I don’t suspect it will amount to much. Maybe another inch. Highway 522 is snow covered in a lot of areas, so care will have to be taken if out and about. The snow we did have is wet and heavy, so … us older folks should be careful when trying to move it. It’s the kind of snow that messes up our old backs. The good news is it is mild outside, with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at 0.5 C | 32.9 F. Seeing these temperatures one would think that we are in for a January thaw, but it won’t remain warm for long, as tonight the temperature will drop substantially. So I am thinking later on when I work up enough energy I will clean out our driveway before it freezes solid. Yesterday I worked all day on a new Podcast and if things goes to plan it should be ready for Friday. All depends on how I feel. Being the age I am, you never know, LOL. I might not like what a day might bring, but, I accept it, and make the best of it. No use sitting around brewing about things, as that doesn’t help one bit. With that, I am off for a bowl of Oatmeal this morning along with a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making me. Whole Flake Oatmeal or as we called it years ago … Porridge, seems to stick to your ribs for a while, and is loaded with all kinds of good things, which gives you the energy you need to get things done. Ha Ha. Take care and stay safe. This virus these days is sure taking its toll on us humans. In Ontario alone, we are having over 20 some deaths every day. Today January 19th we had over 60 Deaths caused by the virus. And some say this virus is nothing. Makes me shake my head. GW

Good Morning! We are having some sunshine here in Port Loring, Ontario, this morning. But it is cold, with the temperature sitting at -21.1 C | -5.98 F. It will warm up a wee bit as the day progresses, but not much. Tonight however it will warm up substantially, and we could see the temperature rise above the freezing mark tomorrow. But that will be short-lived as the temperatures will fall very quickly one again tomorrow night. Later on today and through the night, we could see around 4 inches of new snow, along with some more for tomorrow. So … we got a mixed bag of weather heading our way. But looking at things, it’s been that way for a while now. As of now, Highway 522 is bare and dry, but that will change later on today. So if you have anything planned, it might pay to do it this morning. On another note, yesterday I worked away here on the Blog. Got a lot done with the help of my son Karl. Today I will get back to writing up stories for my newspaper columns, along with some podcasts. I like to get them out of the way through the winter months, as come summer I hate being stuck inside the house. Especially when fishing season arrives. Talking about fishing, we haven’t been out in our boat for two years now. First with this darn virus and second when we did head on out last fall, we had some trailer and motor trouble. This year, I am hoping things will be better. I did have Kerry, my friend, who owns Booth’s Garage here in town fix up my boat trailer and get me a new battery, so things should be good in that department. If there is one thing I enjoy, it is fishing with my buddy Barry. Who I haven’t seen that much since this virus entered into the picture. I am beginning to have Barry withdrawals. Ha Ha. With that, I am off for a piece of toast with my lovely wife, and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW
