At lunch I heard there was a special weather advisory for the Island. I didn’t hear what the advisory was for but this afternoon, while listening to the radio, I heard it again. They are saying some places are going to get snow tonight.

I quickly took a look at the weather online and I’m thankful there is no snow predicted for us. We will, however, drop below zero tonight. I also looked at a few locations on the Island but didn’t see snow for any of them so I don’t think it will be much of an issue for anyone I know.

Our Covid cases today are close to 300 which is very alarming. We never hear whether or not there are cases in Powell River but my behaviour hasn’t changed much since the beginning of the pandemic.

It occurred to me today though that perhaps the difficulty I am having (and many others) is that there is nothing to look forward to. I used to laugh because I would barely be home from one trip before planning the next one. There is no travel in sight – except maybe 30 km either north or south of town at which point the road runs out.
