I played hooky on Friday (i.e. used some overtime hours) to enjoy the weather. As I said to my husband, "I'm taking the day off to enjoy the fresh air and warmth to look for agates by the river, before it turns to dark skies and smoke."

I have been feeling very uneasy most of this winter and it is accelerating with this current spell of weather. I'm looking around and thinking, "is this the year for Prince George?" Videoing and taking photos our stuff for insurance purposes, and pulling together an emergency kit full of cat food and litter for the beasts is a top priority. I've been putting that off a bit too long.

Side note: my weather station (east of the airport in Tabor-Ferndale) hit +21.2*C just before 4pm yesterday. There were definitely warmer temps at other home wx stations I looked at around town.

I’ve been aware of climate change since the late 1990s when the pine beetle started destroying the forests, watching the red creep across the country. I’m very worried about what is going to happen. We have done what we can as individuals while watching a large number of people ignore the warning signs. I hope more people will support measures to at least slow it down. I suspect we are beyond the point of reversing it. I hope I’m wrong. :(
