A very Happy Valentine's Day to everyone from here in Marystown, Newfoundland. I hope you all enjoy it to whatever extent you are able to during this pandemic.
I send this note a little early as tomorrow on Saturday February 13 I will be working as a DRO (Deputy Returning Officer) in one of the polling stations in our district. As you may have heard the Newfoundland election was scheduled for February 13 but with the Covid outbreak in the St. John's area all polls in 18 districts on the Avalon Peninsula have been postponed for at least two weeks. The other 22 districts including ours will go ahead as scheduled tomorrow beginning at 7:30am. The polls close at 8:00 pm so it will be a long day for sure. Then I guess we have to wait for a couple of weeks to count the votes. It is an interesting time for sure - we'll have to wait and see how it plays out. (Late last night we got news that due to the Covid outbreak the voting would be cancelled Saturday and would be mailin votes instead.)
I guess one shouldn't fool around or tease Mother Nature or she will come back to haunt you. I was bragging to some NL friends on the mainland about our lack of snow here in Marystown on Newfoundland's south coast with it being February 8. Unheard of most of the time. But overnight Monday and into Tuesday February 9 we picked up about 15 cm of snow which was blown around with some good winds which made some nice drifts. Then we were supposed to have 5 cm overnight last night into this morning. Well when I awoke and looked out this morning we had more like 20 cm as you can see from a few photos I took during and after cleaning it up this morning. So this is my public apology to Mother Nature - I am very sorry for mocking you like I did. I promise it won't happen again! Please no more snow. :-)
Cheers to all and stay safe.

Whole driveway and 2 cars were like this!
Took 45 minutes to clear this away!
Making sure both exits are clear. There was snow on the deck too!
