I would build tomorrow if my wife would agree... suddenly when it was time to do so she decided she doesn't want to move. Says it's too far from her friends that she's known since about 5 yrs. old. Ironically one of them, her husband told me he's about 1.5 years from retirement... he says they will move to B.C. and winter in Arizona. I asked if his wife was on board with that and he says it was her idea. Everyone is different, to each their own. I don't think my wife could live up north all year around, even once retired, so our plan is to keep both places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Looks like another weekend storm next Saturday 15cm 70% chance as of right now. Let’s hope they get that one right too! Edited January 19, 2020 by Baylaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less popular makes for lower real estate pricing and the mountain offers great skiing but not the massive vertical like say revelstoke or Whistler. For 450k you get a very nice place.

Advice for millenials who can't afford a home what with the cost of skinny pants, cell phone plans and avocado toast subscriptions.....buy a place where you'd like to retire..... Trail near by and half the snow of Saint John's and the Avalon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Will see how it pans out. CHEX is forecasting for another good dumping here. From what I saw in Whitney & LSP today, I don't think they need anymore snow LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Calling for rain here in Kitchener again. That will be end of base we have I think. Hopefully central ontario misses rain this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully central ontario misses rain this time. We just got back from staking, rain started around 4pm just outside of Salem. There’s a good amount of snow out there right now (packing snow) but I’m not sure how well it’ll hold up. They’re calling for 7mm of rain in the next hour alone, then like 2mm every hour after that. Rain until morning. Unfortunately, I think we’ll be back to square one again. Hopefully the rain stays away from Barrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My frustration is that she was totally on board with retiring to Port Severn right up until I said lets get a contractor to do the build and sell in Toronto.

02Sled Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Just saw the Barrie news... All around Georgian Bay from Owen Sound south, Barrie around Midland Penetang, up to north of Parry Sound and then east into Muskoka has a severe freezing rain warning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance she thought that you said Fort, in stead of Port? I could see that bein' a bit of an issue.... ??? I'd like to ride through there some day, but I don't know aboot moving there....

WinderFab Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Went for a ride today with FIRE242, Barrie to Orillia to Waubaushene, to Midland and back down to Barrie.. trails were good for the most part but thin in many areas and after just seeing the radar most of the trails we were on won’t survive tonight..

I'd like to ride through there some day, but I don't know aboot moving there.... To me Port Severn is ideal... we'd have municipal water and sewer which is rare in cottage country. Fire and ambulance are literally minutes away. Not on a back road where we could be snowed in for days. 20 minute drive to Midland. 10 to Coldwater. 25 to Barrie or Orillia. Traffic gridlock is 4 cars waiting for the swing bridge at the lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
