Weather seems to be bad all over Labrador this morning, school closures or partial closure's from north to south to east to west. People warned to stay off some roads, a first this winter for being so widespread.

We had a little power interruptus yesterday.

Around 9.45 am power went down, no panic this end. Power came back up 9.48, see no need to panic.
Power out again 9.59 for brief time and back on. No panic.

Power out again 10.05, by 10.15 was starting to prepare the generator for moving outside.

Power back at 10.20 to now.

According to CBC Labrador Morning the RCMP are investigating one of their own.

The detachments in Nain have had six complaints and the Nain Inuit Community Government have had 15 calls about an alleged incident in the early evening of January sixth.

The allegations are that a member of the Nain detachment was observed riding his snow mobile in an erratic manner, he was observed to be having trouble staying on the snow mobile and having trouble staying erect. The observations were on two of the main roads in Nain.

A spokesperson for the RCMP said that complaints have been received and that after some initial enquiries by detachment members that were not conclusive a criminal investigation is now under way to determine if charges are warranted.

It should be pointed out that the Nulliuks were out that night, and so was most of the town.

CKOK has a news brief of some of the allegations and CBC does not have anything up on their site as yet but may have a pod cast later. Later; CBC does now.
