Thanks to some warm westerly winds, we went from a low of -24.0 °C to a high of around +1.0 °C in just over 36 hours!
A wee bit cooler over the weekend, and then up to +4.0 °C for New Years Day. Let's hope the forecast is accurate!

B.C.’s salmon guardian needs you to listen – before it’s too late
MARK HUME
Vancouver, The Globe and Mail, Dec 02 2012
He’s 88 and admits to failing health, but Ron MacLeod’s mind remains as sharp as a well-honed fish hook and his passion for protecting salmon is undiminished.
Proof of that lies in a brilliant paper he has just written with long-time colleague Al Wood that he hopes will stir a public outcry against government.
This is an old warrior who is squaring up for one last fight. And politicians will ignore him at their peril.
His paper, “Epic Fail,” chronicles the decline of Pacific salmon stocks and warns that a total collapse – on the scale of the Atlantic cod catastrophe – is in the making, unless things change.
Mr. MacLeod, a former director-general of the Department
of Fisheries and Oceans, goes beyond doom-saying. He lays out the history of
failed government policies that have propelled us to this point, and offers
solutions.

"This short paper is well written, easy to read and will help us all to understand how "we" (Canada) got to where we are as to fish and fisheries." - Jim Wilson, The Pacific Streamkeepers Federation
