weather La Nina

So, this author says that ” The atmosphere is in mode but the ocean currents are out of sync” paraphrased.

Rainy and wet…

Anyway, let’s hope that next spring is more wet than the last few years, especially here in South Central interior, British Columbia where we feel it the most.

Snow for slopes

Yes please

TGIF-Starting Saturday, consumption taxes abated to Mid February.

CRA

Tax holiday CBC

This is extraordinary as consumption taxes were made to be revenue neutral. With rebates to mitigate lower income payers for taxes raised at the tills.

Perhaps then a billion and a half dollars will be coming out of revenues other than  these and will reappear in rates.

Anyway good luck, take advantage as you may miss out if not.

The sun spots activity is pronounced this week. May see some good colors of light.

Night sky

May persist …

A storm in the sun has taken place and if the ejection of particules comes to the earth, then by midweek, we should have enjoyed  opportunities for skyscapes. You’ll have a view of some good Aurora Borealis. Depending also on the Weather in your field of view.

Four colours why?

SPCA says no

Can carry avian bugs

Do not do it…

Stray cats cannot be kept away from birds and birds can move avian flu very quickly.
