Good Morning Folks… Another Morning, another story.

​Well, she’s a wet morning here in the North, and it rained off and on through the night, and by the looks of things, the rain will continue for most of the day.

Here’s the weather forecast for Port Loring, Ontario:

Today – Saturday, April 26:
Rainy and overcast, with temperatures around 46°F (8°C). We could see about 0.6 inches (15 mm) of rain. Winds will be coming from the north-northwest at around 15 mph (24 km/h).

Tonight:
Light rain tapering off, becoming mostly cloudy. Temperatures will drop to around 34°F (1°C). Winds will stay steady from the north-northwest at about 15 mph (24 km/h).

Tomorrow – Sunday, April 27:
A pleasant change with sunny skies and a high of 63°F (17°C). Winds will shift slightly, coming from the west-northwest at about 6 mph (9 km/h).

Tomorrow Night:
Clear skies, with temperatures falling to around 36°F (2°C). Winds will shift again, coming from the south-southwest at about 8 mph (13 km/h).

There is also a rainfall warning in place today due to the combination of steady rain and melting snow, which could cause some localized flooding in low-lying areas.

Highway 522 is moving slow this morning, but I suspect things will pick up as the day rolls along. With all this rain, it’s not a bad day to leave the car outside — free car wash included, no appointment necessary!

On another note, with the weather not being all that great yesterday morning, I decided to get busy here at my computer. By the time the weather started to shape up, I was already too deep into what I was doing to stop. So, I just carried on working away at my desk. Some days are like that — once you get rolling, it’s hard to put the brakes on.

So, what are you up to today, GW?

Well, seeing as it’s a pretty miserable day out there, I figure it’s a good one to stay inside and tinker away at a few projects I’ve got going here at my computer. Mind you, it is Dump Day here in the North, so I might just load up the SUV and make a run over there. Around here, a trip to the dump is about as close as we get to a town meeting. You drop off a few bags of trash, catch up on all the local gossip, and if you’re lucky, maybe find a chair or a rake that’s still got a few good years left in it. Truth be told, some days you come home with more than you left with!

So, with that all said, I’m off to grab some breakfast my little woman’s whipped up for me. After that, I’ll see what the day throws at me, planned or not. Bein’ so wet out there, I might just sit back for a spell and have a second cup of hot cocoa before I get too carried away. Days like this, a fella’s got two choices … fight it or take it easy. I’m leanin’ toward the easy side.

Until the next time: Keep Your Minds Open & Your Stories Alive. GW
