  1. Weather is messed. A few days ago, I was seriously considering turning on the air conditioning.

    Now tonight I'm wondering if I should turn the heat back on. Temperature in my home office is 17°C which is on the cool side for me to concentrate on work. #Okanagan #BC

  2. THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
    Round Lake lay north of #Okanagan Lake, and it provided a good and sheltered campsite for the HBC Brigades as they travelled north toward the little post at #Kamloops. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #WestOfTheMountains nancymargueriteanderson.com/br

  3. My 19yo has started their 4-month summer break after 2nd year of university. But cannot find a job. Youth unemployment is very high in the Okanagan.

    I'm certain I will go nuts if they are at home every day for the next 4 months playing Fortnite and Rocket League while I'm trying to work.

    On their return journey home, the HBC Brigades left the landmark they called the Lone Tree, which stood on the shores of Lake #Okanagan, and continued their journey north toward the Grande Prairie and #Kamloops. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #WestOfTheRockies nancymargueriteanderson.com/br

    The men of the homecoming HBC Brigades continued their journey north, by horse and packhorse, riding away from their campsite at the Similkameen Forks, where the Similkameen River flowed through rocky river beds into the #Okanagan River. #HBCHistory #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades nancymargueriteanderson.com/br

    In 1826, and in 1831, the men of the incoming HBC Brigades made their way up the Columbia River from Fort Nez Perces #WallaWalla to Fort Okanogan, which lay at the junction of the #Okanagan River with the Columbia. Here they moved their packs and goods to packhorses, to continue their journey north. #TheHBCBrigades #Journeys #WestOfTheRockies nancymargueriteanderson.com/br

    The old brigade trail of 1826 ran a thousand miles, beginning its journey at #FortStJames and finally reaching Fort #Okanagan, where the men of the brigades took to boats and paddled downriver to Fort #Vancouver #WA #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #WestOfTheMounains nancymargueriteanderson.com/ol

    Tsilaxitsa was the name of the #Okanagan chief who showed Alexander Anderson his trail from the Fraser River to the height of land and the Coldwater River. He also played a role in working in the HBC Brigades in later years. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #HBCHistory nancymargueriteanderson.com/ts

    One the men of the north-bound HBC Brigades made it to Fort #Okanogan, they took to horseback once again and rode north through the Okanagan Valley toward #Okanagan Lake and, eventually, #Kamloops. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #WestOfTheMountains nancymargueriteanderson.com/br

  24. End of January, and still zero snow. I'm pretty sure this will be my first Canadian winter without any snow. #Okanagan #NoSnow

  25. Kelowna, BC
    The Okanagan is caught in the middle today. We’re seeing a messy mix of rain and snow with a high of 6°C. Expect slushy roads and damp sidewalks. As the temperature drops to 2°C tonight, things might get a bit slippery, so watch your step on those side streets! 🌨️🍷 #Kelowna #Okanagan #WinterMix

  26. Kelowna, British Columbia ❄️ A beautiful winter day in the #Okanagan! We’re looking at a mix of sun and cloud with a high near 1°C. Great conditions for a morning walk along the lake or hitting the slopes at Big White. Temperatures will dip to -4°C tonight, so watch for icy patches on the roads tomorrow morning. Enjoy the fresh air, Kelowna! #Kelowna #BCWeather #WineCountry

  27. Kelowna, BC Typical Okanagan winter vibes today! 🍷 We’re seeing "Above Normal" trends for January, hovering around 0°C. A bit of valley cloud hanging around, but it’s a great day for a winery visit or a quick trip to Big White. #Kelowna #Okanagan #BCWeather

  28. Kelowna, British Columbia
    ☁️ A bit of a grey start in the Okanagan. We’re looking at $3^\circ\text{C}$ today with thick cloud cover hanging over the lake. There’s a slight chance of light flurries or rain mix later this afternoon as temperatures hover near freezing. Roads might get a bit greasy, so take it easy on the Coquihalla if you’re heading out of town. Stay warm out there! ☕

  29. Kelowna, British Columbia ❄️ Highway Alerts! While it’s just flurries in the valley, the Coquihalla and Connector are seeing heavy snow (up to 30cm). If you don't have to travel over the passes today, stay cozy in the Okanagan. Valley visibility is reduced by fog this morning.

    High: 2°C | Low: -3°C

    Tip: Winter tires are mandatory on the highways—don’t risk it! #Kelowna #Okanagan #BCWeather #Coquihalla #SnowUpdate

  30. Rest of the country -- both to the east and the west -- are recording low temperatures. Meanwhile, the Okanagan Valley is recording records highs.

    Around +10°C again today. At some point I thought the recent west coast rainstorms would reach us, but looks like everything so far has gone further north. #Okanagan #WestKelowna
