I hate migraines.

It has gotten really windy and there’s a bit of snow coming down outside. I actually had to bring in a few items off the patio that send it like they could blow away.

Power is out in the Hants North area. Estimated time of restoration is 2 PM. Nova Scotia power says the cause of the outage is due to the high wind.

I am being told that the rain has turned to freezing rain in Fall River. Oh joy. Drive safe and for the conditions out on the road everyone. Take your time

A 39-year-old Shubenacadie man has been charged with a slew of offences following the incident that led to an emergency alert on Saturday in East Hants thelaker.ca/police-charg...

Saturday night was the year-end awards banquet for Scotia Speedworld. It was a great evening awesome food and got to hang with my summer race family. And I got a few photos. I also got to speak about the Laker news a bit and mentioned our talented racecar drivers on the weekly racing series.

There are some consistencies in snowfall forecasts for late Tuesday thru Wednesday: - the Atlantic coast most likely to have a rain mix; so lower snowfalls - high ground over the South Mountain (Ann Valley) & N NS most likely to have higher snowfalls. - wet snow not as deep, but is heavy! Still TBD

The back edge of the band of rain is nearing Moncton-Halifax at 7:30am, moves past CB this aftn. Just a few showers or flurries afterwards. Snow from a developing storm spreads into western Maritimes Tuesday aftn then further east Tuesday night. Wednesday morning will be messy with stron NE winds.

The man was safely arrested in the Belnan area after police issued an emergency alert late in the morning. #EastHants thelaker.ca/man-who-was-...

A hearty breakfast at Cup of Soul in Elmsdale.

Hoping everyone has a great Saturday!

After the Elmsdale tree lighting, I went to grab a hot chocolate at the Tim Hortons in Enfield. While waiting for my mobile order a family from BC was there who had only just moved to East Hants two years ago. They were waiting for their order after being served at the cash.

Taking me a low-key day today with a bit of a migraine happening, but I do have to go see mom to drop off some stuff, but that’s probably as far as I will go. Outside of the one video I have to do this afternoon

My dog named Tigger is enjoying bringing his toy back to me.

This is sad news. She was always so lovely and kind to me when we'd meet at events.

“Come on dad who says its too early to play.” Oh Tigger. I was SLEEPING!! 🤣🤣 (if the stories I do today don’t sound like regular stories. It’s this orange furball’s fault.)

I am so tired. That was a lot of fun but a lot of energy used yesterday. I might need a bucket full of ice cap today ha ha

Well, that was a fun night out although the face doesn’t show it. That’s because I was two songs that didn’t play away from winning $600 cash. I foresee this hit music bingo, taking off at a local community centre in the future. It’s a lot of fun. @gpvanier.bsky.social thanks for the invite.
