There's an old proverb that states that If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.
Well, in Marystown March came in like a lion for sure. We had 15 - 20 cm of snow on Feb 27 - 28 and then another 15 - 25 cm from March 1 - 2. It was the first two times I had to get the snowblower out this winter to clear it away. The second fall of snow was very heavy as the temperature rose to close to the freezing mark. To top it off last night March 2 into this morning we had probably another 5 - 10 cm of light snow followed by snow flurries often on all day which dropped another 5 - 10 cm.
We had gotten off very easy until the last two weeks but we have paid up for it for sure. Hopefully from here on in we won't see too much of the white stuff.
On another note the province seems to be turning the corner with the recent Covid breakout in the St. John's area. There have been over 560 cases directly related to the breakout with over 20 schools having at least 1 case. However, most of the cases were at just 1 high school.
The Public Health Officer, Dr. Janice Fitzgerald, announced today that they are going to change the time between the first and second vaccine dose from 3 weeks to 4 months. This will give a lot more people the first vaccine dose as studies are showing that the first dose is very effective in controlling the spread of the virus.
We are still in Level 4 in our district to we don't venture far from home other that going to the grocery store or for a walk.
Hope all is well with everyone and stay safe.
Cheers
Barry
P. S. Here are a couple of photos after clearing my driveway yesterday.
