Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream MLA Tara Armstrong reposts and amplifies the lies and disinformation of Canada Proud. The BC Human Rights Tribunal, which Armstrong is trying to eliminate, ruled the complaint 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 smoke cannabis in her room.

Recall can't come soon enough for Armstrong. #VernonBC

👀 InfoNews.ca to Aid MLA Tara Armstrong Recall Campaign

She "swindled her way into public office and must be removed. We’ll explain why we feel very comfortable, as a news organization with a bias to democracy and good government, in aiding, let alone a responsibility to, this effort. #VernonBC

Oh no! 🚗💥 Google's magical maps are as clueless about street addresses as a tourist on Mars! Bruce Dawson bravely battles the algorithm's epic directional fail, while we all ponder if Google secretly wants us to explore more of Vernon, BC. 🤦‍♂️🌍

Winter Sunrise.
#Sunrise #VernonBC, North Okanagan 🇨🇦

Okanagan Lake “sea smoke” today. Air temperature -28°C. Looking south from #VernonBC 🇨🇦.

How it started - How it's going.
Early this morning Mel Arnold and the CPC shamefully betray Ukraine for a second time in two weeks. Russian President Putin should strike Mr. Arnold's name off the "banned in Russia" sanction list; our MP is not worthy.
#VernonBC #StandWithUkraine

The atmospheric river that hit Cascadia saw moisture impact the #Okanagan Basin. The snowpack on Silver Star Mountain (1840 m) saw some moderate accumulations; however, we remain at a record low. Recorded #VernonBC valley precipitation has been below normal all calendar year.

Great night of music in #vernonbc tonight!

Local MP avoids comment on climate links to devastating wildfires in his riding.

#PierrePoilievre's ‘axe the tax’ disinformation ignores success of B.C. policy and misunderstands ‘basics of climate change' says South Okanagan MP Richard Cannings.

#VernonBC #Shuswap (and my climate science "skeptic") MP, Mel Arnold, would not respond to a request for comment. #AdamsLake #BushCreekEast https://buff.ly/3EgSGJR

🤯2023 #BCWildfires have broken another record: #VernonBC Morning Star's run of ignoring the #ClimateCatastrophe in their history of editorials on extreme weather and its impacts. Never before have they "said my name". Check it out: "climate change conditions" and "climate disasters" First Contact. 💯

Thunderstorms in the #Thomson #Okanagan #Shuswap could give rainfall up to 10-15 mm with wind gusts up to 50 km/h. Risk is moderate through midnight. Forecast models for #VernonBC show the related inherent variability for amounts, ranging from 2 mm to 17 mm today, less for #Kelowna.

BC Wildfire air quality misinformation: It's bad, but not "800" bad. The primary hazard of wildfire smoke is fine particulate. The [PM₂.₅] health-related B.C. air quality objective is 25 µg/m³ averaged over 24 h. Here's the max. running daily mean for #Kamloops, #VernonBC, #Kelowna, #Penticton.

With the cold front moving out of the south of the interior, there will be trailing gusty northwest winds and, with a low pressure trough, instability and moderate risk of rainless (dry) thunderstorms. #Okanagan #VernonBC #Kelowna #Wildfire

I finally listened to the Wild Boys (a mystery podcast).

It’s all about Vernon, BC (my town); definitely worth a listen!

@nasa_bot Ironically a local HVAC contractor coupon-dropped my neighbourhood today, promoting people to flood their outer home footprints with vanity lighting so you can "be the envy of the neighbourhood". The enemy of #DarkSkies more like it.

Man is set to swim Lake Okanagan today! Who is your money on?

:dougcoffee:

The #Okanagan Snow Basin Index is at 113% of normal. The snowpack at #VernonBC's Silver Star Mountain snowcourse is at a record high (year-to-date) with a few more weeks' snow accumulation still possible.

A frontal system associated with yesterday's atmospheric river that hit coastal BC has stalled over the #Okanagan. We won't see much rain, however, as most moisture is aimed at south of the US border. We'll see ~5 mm in #VernonBC
