Special Weather Statement in effect for:

  • Burk's Falls - Bayfield Inlet which includes me
Freezing rain or rain tonight into Saturday. Hazards: Freezing rain with some ice accretion possible. Rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 mm (up to .75"). Timing: Tonight into Saturday morning. Discussion: Two weather systems will affect the area over the next two days. The first will move through today bringing near 5 cm (almost 2"
) of snow. The snow will then change to rain or freezing rain tonight as a second and much stronger system begins to move in. Utility outages will be possible for areas that receive freezing rain. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. There remains some uncertainty at this point to the placement of the freezing rain and heavy rainfall. Freezing rain or rainfall warnings may be issued as the event draws nearer. For information concerning flooding, please consult your local Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry office. Visit Ontario.ca/floods for the latest details.

I'm off to North Bay for the monthly shopping trip. Weather wise, so far there is nothing. As for it effecting my medical trip, not likely but if it does I have lots of leeway. Medical not due until 19 April. As long as I have it into the DoT/MTO before the 19th I am good.
The start up meetings aren't really 'that' much of a priority for me, this senior man has suffered through 37 of them without a miss. It is just 16 hours I don't get paid for. I could cover it all in 1/2 a day if it was one on one.

Have a safe day all

Don, glad you were able to give Whipper a goodbye and place her next to Gray2 at your mom's. I know Whipper made your life better, and you hers.
Hope Dr. appointment goes well and good peaceful night sleep.

Good morning! A warm, partly cloudy, 70˚F with a stout Southerly wind. Temp will rise to 88˚ this afternoon but this evening the wind will change and come from the North bringing the temps down to the 50s.

Yesterday it was misting or light rain all day but we only got .15", just enough to keep me from working outside on the garden stepping stones.

Last day of March, 1/4 of 2023 gone already.

Yup. We are getting much the same, so I don’t think I will be doing any more burning today! Too bad, because effective April 1, we can only burn between 7 PM and 7 AM.

Got a lot done yesterday, however.

Good Morning
28 degrees and going to at least double that.
Yesterday was mostly consumed with the trip to Hilton Head, and arranging for the purchase of a Wille 865 and attachments for one of the county airports. We were offered a grant from the state, but had to act quickly. Spent most of the drive time on the phone, but I think we have it all set up.

Today might be a Costco run and some quality time in the shop, hopefully put the grapple on the tractor and clean up some.

Good morning
41 going to 51 today and cloudy
Finished the dirt moving project yesterday and rough graded the areas with the bucket. Will finish grading with the excavator today.
Wife will give me a much needed haircut later this morning.

The front end loader arms were flexing some when hitting a bump with a fully loaded bucket but everything was fine. Broke the loader arms on MF and had to weld repair them back when cleaning up for rocks.

Here is pic of part of the area that I took the dirt from ready for finish grading and seeding

Weather says it is 41F now but it feels colder than that. Supposed to get up to 60F this afternoon.

I ran up to the farm yesterday. The grocery chain we use has a gas station there. I had $1.10 off a gallon in gas points. That makes the price of gas seem right.

The yard at farm looks OK but there were a lot of small branches down, I spent some time playing pick up sticks. Looks like the farm lane needs mowing so I need to get some no ethanol. On my inspection tour I met a new neighbor. He was cleaning up along the tree line next to the field. I told him if he wanted to cut them all down it wouldn't bother me. Wheat is up a foot in places and then hardly up at all in others.

Breakfast, shower and a haircut. My wahl clipper has saved me a ton of money. That is a good thing because electricity sure has gotten expensive. Solar panels are looking like a better idea.

Take care

Chris
