With the lack of snow, very cold then milder temperatures ice coring is becoming an issue around town and in the country.
This series just shows a small portion of the coring, one on the lower trail to Trouser Lake and the other at the confluence of a town road and the road to Trouser Lake.

There is a more serious situation in the not so new subdivision where the road is blocking the natural flow of a brook that flows there, drainage under the road is obviously inadequate and the ice is flowing lot frozen larva all over the place.

Blow is an e mail from our MP in Hottawa received yesterday:

I would like to thank you again for having taken part in my survey on the Muskrat Falls project.

As someone who has an interest in this important issue, you may be also interested in participating in tonight’s “Virtual Town Hall” which I am holding across Labrador. This is a large teleconference, similar in format to an open-line radio program. You can just listen, or you can come on the line with your own comments or questions. There will also be a touch-tone survey.

This Virtual Town Hall takes place tonight, Wednesday February 23^rd, from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. (8:00 to 9:30 in southern Labrador communities which follow Newfoundland time.)

I was busy and did not take part but according to CBC HV-GB up to 2200 people did take the time to participate.

No prizes as to what the majority of the participants think of the Muskrat Falls deal the province is trying to foster on the citizens of Labrador.
