Hope this isn't too late for ppl....it prob is for today.....this from environment Canada... 4:45 AM EST Friday 1 December 2006 Wind warning for Picton - Sandbanks Park issued Strong wind beginning this evening and ending overnight. This is a warning that damaging winds are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. A Major winter storm located over Indiana this morning continues to spread a broad area of precipitation into southern Ontario as it is moving towards the province today. As the storm heads northeast..It will collide with a cold air mass left in the wake of a cold front that went through yesterday. This will cause the precipitation to briefly begin as snow before turning to freezing rain or to simply begin as freezing and ice pellets in a wide swath extending from Lake Huron to the Ottawa Valley early this morning..Then spread northward as snow later this morning. Significant amounts of freezing rain are possible in areas covered by the freezing rain warning. Current indications are that up to 20 millimetres may fall. The relatively warm and wet ground in the wake of yesterday's rain and the recent mild spell may lessen the amount of ice accretion on roads and sidewalks. However the accretion on trees..Power lines..Automobiles and any exposed object may be significant. The freezing rain should change to rain or snow depending on the area later this afternoon in the west and early this evening in eastern districts. North of the freezing rain area..The precipitation which should start late this morning will remain as snow and could be mixed with ice pellets this afternoon. Snowfall amounts in this area are expected to be between 15 to 20 centimetres. Additionaly..Regions just north of the freezing rain area such as Bancroft - Hastings Highlands - Denbigh..The southern portion of Barry's Bay - Killaloe and Renfrew - Arnprior - Calabogie are expected to receive between 10 to 15 centimetres of snow and ice pellets and the precipitation is also expected to change to freezing rain for a few hours early this afternoon. As the low moves northeast through southern Ontario into southern Québec this evening..Very strong possibly damaging southwesterly winds of 60 gusting to 90 km/h will develop near the east end of Lake Erie and over Prince Edward county near lake ontairo. The very strong winds will diminish somewhat overnight as they shift into the west. In the Picton - Sandbanks Park area winds will subside a little later on Saturday morning. Once the storm centre has moved into southern Québec this evening it will take the precipitation with it leaving a few flurries in its wake. Motorists should exercise extreme caution as hazardous winter driving conditions are likely especially on untreated roads. Strong winds near lakes Erie and Ontario will also make driving difficult. Travel plans should be altered accordingly. Environment Canada continues to monitor this developing situation. These watches and warnings will be updated as conditions warrant.

That's great to hear!! Hopefully he'll be back to enjoying all the things he hasn't been able to for the past year.

UPDATED WEATHER WARNING....FREEZING RAIN FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO TOMORROW MORNING. This is for anyone travelling Friday morning...please be extra careful out there!!!! =============================================================== 3:34 PM EST Thursday 30 November 2006 Freezing rain warning Freezing rain and ice pellets developing by Friday morning. This is a warning that an extended period of freezing rain is imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. A Major winter storm developing over the southern U.S. will spread a broad area of precipitation into southern Ontario on Friday. Plunging temperatures tonight in the wake of a cold front will cause this precipitation to begin as freezing rain and ice pellets in a wide swath extending from Lake Huron to the Ottawa Valley during the early morning hours..Then spread northward as snow later in the morning. Significant amounts of freezing rain are possible in areas covered by the freezing rain warning. Current indications are that up to 20 millimetres may fall. The relatively warm and wet ground in the wake of todays rain may lessen the amount of ice accretion on roads and sidewalks. However the accretion on trees..Power lines..Automobiles etc may be appreciable. Snowfall amounts in areas covered by the winter storm warning may exceed 15 centimetres. However the more southern regions will likely receive lesser amounts due to mixing with ice pellets and freezing rain. The storm centre will move off to the east on Friday night at which time the precipitation is expected to taper off. Environment Canada continues to monitor this developing situation. These watches and warnings will be updated as conditions warrant.

ROFL....I thought you were leaving the board or someone died when I read the title.... Nice apology though....

For those of us who are in denial about winter, this will keep you going for the next little bit!!!!! This is for Toronto, but is similar for all of Southern Ontario. WOO HOO!!!! Maybe I can get out there and fish without having to knock ice off my rod!!!

Yep...the lowest I've seen gas in the GTA recently was as low as 72 cents...back up to 86 cents this morning.

Awesome news...about the job anyways! The back thing sucks...been there and done that....my best friend is my chiropractor....LOL. Must be a relief to you and your family...once you get all settled in then you can get back to concentrating on fishing spots!!!

ROFL. Loved that guys reaction!!!! You had a great day fishing that's for sure. Thanks for the great report....I'm already looking forward to your next one!!!

LOL...that little guy sure had guts to try and take that lure down!!! I think that lure is as big as he is!!! haha.

Great shots and report snag!!!! About to read the lunch and dinner report...hehe.

Wow...amazing shot!!! And boy does the owl look PISSED OFF at you!!!!

All right!!!! Great going Squid! Congrats! Were ya wearing your OFC clothing??? haha

Wow...awesome shots by everyone!!!! I'l have to dig through some of mine later and post. Thanks for sharing!!!

Yep...eye stuff can be very scary. My mother has a disease called RP...a degenerative disease and she is now legally blind with a guide dog. I found a spot in my eye and went to see my family doc. He sent me to a specialist with the comment "Melanotic Lesion" on it. I know what melanoma is and it scared the bejeezus out of me!!! I called the specialist and the earliest he could see me was FIVE months later! I said "I dont think so" and I went on a mission calling specialsts all around Ontario. Located one in Oshawa that said he could see me in 2 weeks. Had simple eye surgery to remove the lesion about a month later and luckily it wasn't malignant... The surgery was interesting....I was fully conscious....he said keep your eye open as I saw a VERY sharp instrument come closer and closer. It's instinct to close your eye when you see something like that....he said it wouldn't hurt....he LIED! Oh well, all is ok now. Eyes are nothing to mess around with...so I'm glad you had it checked out.

Canadian Tire has the one that is wrist watch only (no rod mount). Battery does shut down when not in water. There are two contacts on the bottom that complete the circuit when in water...however, be very careful how you store it. If the two contacts touch say a metal tray, then the circuit will be completed and draw down your battery. The one I bought from C Tire came with an extra watch battery, and so far I haven't had to break it open. I use it for maybe 15 minutes at a time. C Tire sells it for 119.99. I use mine all the time, esp in new locations to mark depth and fish. Link at Canadian Tire's site is.... Castable Fish Finder at Canadian Tire - Click here!

How old are you guys? Who in the heck is that???? LOL..joking joking....hehe

OK...I'll bite.....HUH????????
