If You Live in a Bowl


...you'll know that "stuff" settles in the bowl.
In this case, the City of Vernon is the bowl.


Statements

"12:30 PM PST Tuesday 31 January 2017 Special air quality statement in effect for:
  • North Okanagan - including Vernon
DUST ADVISORY ISSUED FOR VERNON.

The Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Interior Health Authority, has issued a Dust Advisory for Vernon due to high concentrations of coarse particulates, which are expected to persist until there is a change in current weather conditions.

Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors and in air-conditioned spaces helps to reduce particulate exposure. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease.

For more information on current air quality, see: www.bcairquality.ca.

Visit www.airhealth.ca for information on how to reduce your health risk and your personal contribution to pollution levels, as well as for current and forecast AQHI values.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada

Issued by Environment Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Environment"





If you want good air, live on a knoll.
Versus a bowl.

But tie down that patio table and umbrella otherwise it'll end up in Lumby, thanks to the winds that knolls experience.

...and while we're at it, how about roads crews spreading SAND on winter roads, instead of pieces that resemble GRAVEL.  

Everyone's complaining about broken windshields from tire-tosses.
