Good Morning! As my old Dad used to say: “If you can’t fix it with a hammer, George, you’ve got yourself an electrical problem.”
Well, folks, yesterday might’ve been the first day of spring, but you sure wouldn’t know it by what’s happening weather-wise this morning. Through the night, we got ourselves a good two to three inches of snow, and as I write this, the temperature’s sitting at a brisk 18.68°F | -7.4°C. But hey, the sun’s shining, so it at least looks a bit like spring—sort of.
Here’s the weather forecast for Port Loring, Ontario:
Friday, March 21:
- Daytime: Expect a mix of sun and clouds, with a 40% chance of flurries. High around 44°F (7°C).
- Night: Cloudy skies. Low near 21°F (-6°C).
Saturday, March 22:
- Daytime: Cloudy with a 60% chance of snow or rain. High approximately 30°F (-1°C).
- Night: Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of snow. Low dropping to 7°F (-14°C).
So…. it looks like spring’s just teasing us again, like a feller waving’ a pie under your nose and then running off with it!
Highway 522’s mostly clear of snow, so traveling’ should be decent today for those making their way to the larger towns. But don’t let your guard down as there’s always plenty of deer along the roadside and crossing the highway, especially this time of year. Just the other day, on our trip to the city and back, we had to slow down for at least six of ’em crossing the road—keeps you on your toes, that’s for sure.
On another note, I finally got the main shop all cleaned up and everything sorted out. It sure was a job going through fifty years or more of stuff—felt like I was digging’ through history itself! But it’s all done now, and what I want to keep is tucked away, and everything we’re selling’ is in another spot. Feels good to have that off my plate, though I’m sure I’ll find something else to clean up next!
So what’s on the agenda for today, GW? Well, with the ground covered in ice and snow again, I guess I’ll be working away here at my computer, writing up a couple more stories for my columns. I write for the largest newspaper in Canada—been at it for over 36 years now. That should keep me busy this morning. After lunch, we’ll see what the weather’s up to and take it from there.
With that, I’m off once again for the breakfast my lovely wife has gotten ready for me. After that we’ll enjoy our regular morning chat along with our hot cocoa, and then, well, I’ll get to writing. At least that’s the plan—though, some days, the words flow like water, and other days, it’s nothing but blank pages.
Until the next time: Keep Your Minds Open & Your Stories Alive. GW
