Good Morning:  Not to bad temperature wise this morning.  Waking up it was sitting at   0.1 C | 32.18 F.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy, may improve as the day moves forward.

Snow Report:  We had around 2 inches of snow over night.  With temperatures being where they are at I suspect it will be short lived.

Highway Report. Highway 522 is pretty well bare but it does have some slushy sections throughout.  Travelling should be okay.

Around Town:  Not much to report here for a Monday morning.  Folks are back to work and those that are retired are taking the days as they come.  I have to say I enjoy starting a new day, as all is up for grabs, so to speak.  What ever I choose to do is there for the taking.  The trick to making it a good day is knowing the right road to take.  Some choose trouble some choose contentment.  Free will they call it.  I call it common sense.  Tea time here.  English breakfast with a touch of corn silk.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Good Morning.  Cloudy morning waking up.  Temperatures though have remained above freezing throughout the night.  Lot of melting taking place at this time.  Temperatures were sitting at; 1.2 C | 34.16 F.

Forecast For Today:  Cloudy, with a possible flurry or rain off and on through the day.  Melting will continue.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare but wet throughout.   Travelling should be okay for most of the day.

Snow Report:  Well over half our snow is gone.  No snow accumulations over night.

Around Town:  Just about time to start thinking on starting some of them seeds from last year.  I like to get mine up a ways which takes time.  Nothing gives me more pleasure than to see them sprouting up out of the soil.  Once it warms up they will be ready to plant in the garden.  Myself I start mine in egg cartons.  I found that the carton itself holds the moisture in the right amounts to sustain the seeds for a good length of time.  Also keeps them separated nicely. Nothing more satisfying than growing your own, especially from seeds.  Enjoy your day and say safe.  You can reach me at                        [email protected]

Good Morning: Well waking up this morning temperatures were sitting at 0.1 C | 32.18 F.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy with snow off and on most of the day turning colder.  Will be quite cold tonight and through tomorrow as well.  The winds are coming in from the North North West.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is snow covered with some icy sections throughout.  Not a good day for travelling.  I would recommend staying home if possible.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations over night.  It is coming down quite rapidly though this morning.  Blowing snow makes things worse which it is doing at this time.  Winter wonderland out there today.

Ice Fishing Times:  I hear the ice huts are being taken off the lakes in Nippising as the ice is melting quite rapidly these days.  I would think we should follow their example.  Its not worth some one getting hurt for the sake of a few fish.  There will be plenty of time for fishing sitting in a boat.in the near future.  Tomorrow will be the last day for the Ice Fishing Times for this season.  Today though the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then again from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM. I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  If unsure of the ice thickness stay off it.  Good luck and stay safe.

Around Town: There is a Community Paramedical Program in Effect for our area. For all the information click flyer below.  Enjoy your day and with this blowing snow be careful out there.  Good thing is it won’t last for long, seems to be the trend for our area year after year.

Good Morning:  Well starting off with the first day of spring it is not so bad.  A touch cool with temperatures waking up sitting at -5.3 C | 22.46 F.  Winter is finally over, as far as dates goes which is fine with me. You have to start somewhere.

Forecast For Today:  Some sunshine along with some clouds.  Later on we will have some mixed precipitation coming our way.  Could be snow, could be rain could be freezing rain.  This will continue through the night and into tomorrow.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout.  Things could change later on this afternoon.  As of now travelling is good.

Snow Report:  No snow accumulations over night.  I would say our snow here is well over half gone.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM.  Then again from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Things are quiet these days with stores occasionally doing a modest business.  But that will change within a month or so with the tourists and cottage owners entering into the picture.    Kind of like us waking up in the morning.  Takes a bit for things to become apparent, then the day carries on with what we make it into.  Some choose to make it a good day, others not.  For myself I make a nice tea, sit back and let the thoughts of what should take place enter and then…let it happen.  Enjoy your day my friends.  You can reach me if you so wish at [email protected]

Good Morning:  Well a touch cool here this morning.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at -13.7 C | 7.34 F.

Forecast For Today:  We should see lots of sunshine today with temperatures warming up.  Will even be warmer tomorrow but then things will get colder for three or four days.  Then back into some nice weather.  So patience is what is needed this time of year.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout.  Travelling will be good today.

Snow Report:  No accumulations overnight.  In spite of the cooler weather we have had in the past few days the snow is still melting slowly.

Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then again a bit later from 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.

Around Town: Not to much to report here this morning.  Other than a flu bug going around town.  So make sure you wash your hands more often and try to stay clear of those that are sick.  Good Luck?  Enjoy your day.  You can reach me at [email protected]
