Good Morning! It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring Ontario. We did have around an inch of light snow through the night. Nothing to stop you from going anywhere if you have to go anywhere .I did see a few snowmobiles out and about yesterday, making their way through the trails behind my house. Nice to see. My wife and I are staying put these days with the way this new virus is spreading. Eventually I am sure everyone will get it, but staying put will help the hospitals, doctors and nurses a bit, which is what is needed at the moment. I think once it reaches it peak, meaning almost everyone has caught it … it then will drop as fast as it started. Highway 522 has a few, snow covered areas along with some icy sections throughout. Tonight things will become darn cold again, and stay that way for the next three days. After that, things should moderate. Yesterday I managed to write up a couple stories for my columns and today will probably do the same. With that, I am off for a bagel this morning with my lovely wife. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning. It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We did have a touch of snow overnight, about one inch. Not enough to bring out my old snow blower, though. Which is fine by me. Highway 522 is partially snow covered, with some icy sections throughout. The temperature waking up was sitting at -4.6 C | 23.72 F. A lot warmer than yesterday and the day before. It is warmer, but that is about to change with colder temperatures will be moving in by tomorrow night. The coldest nights will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We are having some light snow at the moment, but I don’t suspect it will amount to much. On another note, I just put some more wood in my shop stove. It’s nice and toasty in there. So if the urge hits to work on a few projects I have lined up, I will be all set. But right now, I don’t have any urges, Ha Ha. Today I will be working on another podcast that I have in mind along with a story for my newspaper columns. I haven’t seen many snow mobiles yet this year, but with this cold weather I suspect they will be out and about sooner than later. I enjoy seeing them, makes me feel good knowing that some are enjoying life a bit. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe, this damn virus is sure getting out of hand these days. You know … I am getting a wee bit tired of it. Ha Ha.

Good Morning from a cold Port Loring. And it sure is a cold one this morning. Climbing out of bed, the temperature was sitting at -33.8 C | -28.84 F. That’s cold by any standard. The wind is coming in from the East, North East. Highway 522 is partly snow covered, along with a few icy sections. So care should be taken if out and about. If asked, I would recommend everyone staying inside this morning till things warm up a bit. Or at the very least dress extra warm if you have to go out. The good part is almost everyone wears a mask these days, which will help breathing in the cold air. LOL. I did walk over to my woodworking shop to feed my stove a bit ago. I was glad to get back in where it was warm. I wouldn’t want to have to work outside today. On another note, I didn’t do much yesterday, kind of a lazy day. Today being so cold, I will work away on another story or two, and maybe start a new Podcast. I will have to see how I feel. Some days I feel like writing, some days I don’t. The good part is that these days, I can do what I want, no pressure. Occasionally, that isn’t a good thing. LOL, With that I am off to feed my wood furnace here in the house. It has been running steadily all night. I did have to get up three times through the night, as it got hungry. Which didn’t bother me any, as being the age I am, I usually get up anyway. It’s nice and toasty in here. Nothing like wood heat, especially in this kind of weather. Just to let you know, as some have asked. It only took six pieces of hardwood to heat the whole house and basement overnight. Can’t beat that. Now I am off for some waffles that my lovely wife is making me. She sure makes them tasty. Take care and stay safe. GW
