Backyard poultry producers are being told by the state to monitor
their flocks after a deadly avian flu outbreak in the Tri-Cities area. About 700 chickens, turkeys, ducks and guinea fowl in two backyard flocks were affected by the outbreak earlier this month.

Fall season temperatures were above average for most of the province, despite several Arctic air outbreaks since mid-November. For south-western parts of the province, temperatures were approximately 2 to 3°C above average during the fall. December was a warm month for the province, particularly for the interior with temperatures 3 to 5°C above average conditions in some locations.
With warm conditions prevalent through much of the early snow accumulation season and dry conditions during the Arctic outbreaks, precipitation has primarily been in the form of rain through the fall and December. After a particularly wet October, most major centres in the Okanagan, Columbia and Kootenay experienced lower than average precipitation in November and December. In the northeast, precipitation totals have been above average since November, while in the northwest, precipitation totals were lower than average since November. On the south coast and Vancouver Island, precipitation has been below average and has primarily occurred as rain. However, the recent winter storm that affected most of the southern regions of the province in early January has increased snow pack, which is not completely reflected within the January 1st snow measurements.
Snowpack
Early season snow pack has been slow to develop across the province and, in all regions of the province, snow basin indices are below normal for January 1st (Figure 1). Snow basin indices range from a low of 28 % on the south coast to a high of 96 % in North Thompson.

Comes with Luxury Bath
Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson have been on a
daunting mission that began at the tail end of 2014. On December 27,
after years of preparation, they set out to free climb the Dawn Wall
route on El Capitan, a steep slab of exposed granite at Yosemite
National Park in California.
On Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. local time,
the pair made history when they became the first to complete a free
climb—i.e. a climb without any assistance and only a rope in case of a
fall—of what is considered one of the most difficult routes in the
world.
