While overnight lows will be in the double digits this week daily highs will be at or above freezing. Saturday lows will plummet to close  to -20s and highs will half that and stay in the cold  and freezing range. ( accu weather)

Ducks on Nicola river, which way is south?

Ducks on Nicola river, which way is south?

The cold is back this week with temperatures dropping unofficially to near minus 20 celsius. There is little snow on the ground and we expect that frost is building in the ground.  The Nicola river that flows through town is building ice seemingly without  concern by ducks that remain here.
