#HuronCounty peeps - In 2022 the #100PeopleWhoCare group will come together again to support needs of our community. Each participant pledges $100 4 X a year. Each quarter, charities are chosen & funding provided. Volunteer time dedicated to the need, not fundraising. DM me!

@modernfarmer Oh I’m so sorry to hear this. Glad to hear you have a supportive network around you

Lost 2 barns to snow load. Jess and I built our biz renting barns no one else wanted We’ve lost 26,000 sq ft of space to snow load this year, a peril of old rented buildings The silver lining is our friends and neighbours showed up to help Nice to not be alone in the fight

This local field brings me joy every time I see it. The sunset the other day was stunning and I had to stop to enjoy ❤️

@JoannaMWallace Hit @jayhawkr55 on the weekend and me today Ugh

Who else has the “back to school cold”? Neocitron, halls and vapour rub are my besties right now.

@Agridome @SteveM_OD @TorontoStar This coincides with a Masters course I’m taking on interdisciplinary studies, and the main topic is on reflection…..why we think the way we do, are we open to alternative opinions, etc Thank you for sharing!

Excellent piece....changing your mind can be liberating @stevem_OD It's hard to admit when you've changed your mind. We asked Kathleen Wynne, Peter Sloly and others for a time they changed theirs thestar.com/opinion/contri… via @torontostar

Do you have an old well on your property? An unused well that hasn’t been properly plugged can pose a safety hazard and even threaten groundwater supplies. Contact us to learn more about plugging them and funding programs to help share the cost. grandriver.ca/en/our-watersh…

@HV_holsteins I got a chiropodist to wrap my foot to get past the really painful part. There are some you tube videos though on how to do it. Orthotics keep it at bay…

Plantar fasciitis Fucking hurts

@KGCrown @jayhawkr55 You asked….and I deliver 🤣

@notrunningfast @jayhawkr55 I am here for River photo overload!

She’s already got @jayhawkr55 wrapped around her little paw Welcome River ❤️

Yesterday was a ridiculously long day and the delay made it worse but I prefer to travel by train into the city. I like assigned seating and the orderly line ups - even when they stretch from gate into the Great Hall! I’d rather be waiting at Union then in a traffic jam

I always take the @VIA_Rail when I go to TO. Yesterday the early train was cancelled, next train delayed Ppl were irritated but calm. Big shoutout to staff Spencer at Union. He was pleasant, calm, friendly and super helpful. I’m sure he was under pressure but he did great!

@arestaurant_guy There’s a legendary fish and chip place near me that charges extra for ketchup packets. It’s quirky but everyone who goes there knows the drill. I would rather have that honestly, than a handful of packets thrown in when I don’t want or need them

@EastwoodL13 @OMAFRA Ah! I wish you all the best in your new endeavours!

@PotterBarry Sadly wasn’t expecting much. My bracket got busted when Auburn got put out 🤣🤣🤣

No rock chalk jay hawk today @notrunningfast Always next year.

The online hate and bullying needs to stop. We cannot have a diverse, talented leadership if we don’t take the steps to make those positions worth having. www-cbc-ca.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.cbc.ca…

@IWeatherON Glad it didn’t last or come with wind! #onstorm

#ONStorm #ONwx Get ready for a wild weather ride, Ontario! The old saying will hold true this week: "If you don't like the weather in Ontario, just wait five minutes—it'll change!" And change it will, with a full spectrum of seasons unfurling over the next 48 hours. As we previously hinted, a ‘heatwave’ is set to roll in for Tuesday and Wednesday, with temperatures climbing into the teens. Parts of Deep Southwestern Ontario are even teasing the 20°C mark, according to some models! Thunderstorms are on the agenda for Tuesday, starting with morning storms and a potential severe risk by the afternoon and evening. Fog, a recurring theme this season, is slated to make a comeback in certain areas on Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be accompanied by heavy rain, dumping 15-30mm by Wednesday morning. For parts of Northern Ontario, we could be looking at significant snowfall totals as the cold air hangs on there. This includes Kenora, Dryden, Kapuskasing, Cochrane and Timmins. But don't pack away your winter gear just yet! Remember, it's still February, despite what the balmy temperatures might suggest. Winter is gearing up for a comeback by Wednesday morning and afternoon. A sharp cold front will sweep through the province, one of the steepest we've seen in quite some time, with temperatures plummeting from the teens to below freezing in just a few hours. Given the expected rain and mixed precipitation during this cooldown, we're likely to see road conditions turn treacherous with ice on Wednesday. A tricky commute is on the cards for Wednesday afternoon, and we can't dismiss the potential for school bus cancellations if the flash freeze risk materializes as the models predict. From late Wednesday into Thursday, snow squalls are expected to revisit the usual snowbelt regions, with wind chills plunging to near -20°C—a stark contrast to Tuesday's near-record warmth. And the temperature roller coaster doesn't stop there. As we look towards the weekend and into early next week, another significant warm-up is on the horizon. Because these rapid temperature fluctuations are definitely healthy for our ecosystem! 🫠 We're putting together a detailed forecast, complete with several maps to navigate this complex weather pattern. It's a bit of a task, so bear with us as we compile all the necessary information. Stay tuned! - Brennen

@MdMcLean1 🤣🤣 That was a classic

This was 💯 1 of the best ads ever!.. I bet it took some work to get it past legal but I still laugh!
