Post office open with postings saying they are to deliver government checks by the 20th for those vulnerable.
Back to work.
The 55 000 postal workers are back on the job in the morning tomorrow.
8:00 a.m. in the morning tomorrow Tuesday back to work with a 5% raise retroactive the beginning of the action. Labor authorities declared an impasse. An order coming for them to work until May 25. Hopefully discussions will continue for the whole time.
So, this author says that ” The atmosphere is in mode but the ocean currents are out of sync” paraphrased.
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.
There is a warning for travelers using the Coquihalla highway system to Hope BC. For up to 20 mm of snow. Is right now
Blowing Snow and accumulations up to 20 CM.
Stoof, tongue in cheek….
December 15th 2024,4:02AM Eastern, 1:02 AM Pacific. The moon is to appear “Strangely off Kilter” as it orbits on Sunday. The Moon generally appears full for about 5 days with maximum illumination in the middle.
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.

Good luck…
The weather is moderate here in Merritt.
Driving is still a serious choice.
The sun spots activity is pronounced this week. May see some good colors of light.
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.
Stray cats cannot be kept away from birds and birds can move avian flu very quickly.

The Nicola Naturalist Society INC is having its bird count on Saturday the 14th of December in Merritt BC. This will be the 26th annual count by volunteer members. The stats are compiled and sent to the Audubon Society.
This pyror beetle showed up after the wildfires of 2023. I believe it was anyway. It was photographed on a wooden edge of an apartment building. These beetles live on burnt wood according to sources.
Hey Merit what do you say?
