Serious issue. I’m a long time dog owner with a property that backs onto the park Yes increased use during the pandemic but the article fails to acknowledge increased population growth and need for recreation space. Furthermore #Saanich has absolutely failed with reducing wet areas on the paths by managing drainage or using mulch. This has been a problem for 10 or more years We saw joggers pushing new trails during the pandemic. Yet off leash dogs were given as the problem. Complex problems where a simple solution failed to address key issues. More usage by increasing population! Is it a park or conservation area? #yyj #saanich

If you're in #Saanich / #VictoriaBC & able to give me some rides to/from hospital over next little while, I'd really appreciate that help. I don't have enough money to spend $50/day just for taxi transportation to/from hospital. I'm off work for all of September to be there for Mom. #YYJ #RidesNeeded #Caregiver

In early 2023, I took 2 cuttings from a rose plant at Jubilee Hospital gardens. I propagated the cuttings in our front yard. I grew them for my parents. Dad passed away before any of the cuttings propagated had matured enough to bloom. This year, it's blooming a lot. This is one of the roses from that propagation. #Spring #perennials #Saanich #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #PNW #flowers #botanical #plants #garden #Bloomscrolling #florespondence #PollinatorGardens #FlowersIdentification #WhatsInMyGarden #WhatsBlooming #rose #PlantsPropagation

The first image shows all of the observed Januaries, plotted separately. What's immediately obvious is that January always has sunny days. This past month wasn't unusually sunny. And, the sunny days are often grouped in clusters, due to the cause being lingering high-pressure systems. The final pair of charts is here to illustrate the difference between a cloudy day and a sunny one in January. The light shaded region shows the insolation we expect. The dark is what was observed. The sunny day chart shows incoming energy was blocked in the morning and late afternoon. This is due a trees that shade the sensor at those times. Trees that were much smaller when the site was selected. #UVic #Saanich #VictoriaBC 6/6

The last bit of data I found interesting has month has to do with mistaken perception and recollection of weather data. It is very well known in meteorological science [OK, citation clearly needed here] that human beings are poor observational data storage devices. This past month I demonstrated that to myself. When I sat down to write all of this up I had in mind that January was exceptionally sunny. It was not. I think what happened was that following a December that was a bit more dreary than usual, dreariness that continued to mid-January, the sunshine we did see then fell really, really good. What I recalled, and what is commonly recalled, is the sensation of experience, not any kind of realistic set of observations. In the plot, I'm showing all daily average January observations of insolation (incoming short-wave radiation). 2026 is shown with filled circles. The diamonds show the 'theoretical' maximum amount for each day. 5/ #UVic #Saanich #VictoriaBC

Rain at #UVic in January was a bit above average 114 mm versus 95 mm. We observed some activity at the rain gauge on 22 days (versus 19 days). However, a number of the single rain gauge tips, about 0.25 mm were due to dew and frost, and collection from some heavy fogs. By coincidence, on the last three days of the month, we recorded the same amount of rain, 3.8 mm. There was no snow observed last month. 4/ #Saanich #VictoriaBC

Consider the histogram shown here. it includes all daily average January temperatures observed at #UVic (2002–2026). Extreme events are rare events, by definition. Notice that that while there are a small number of extremely cold days in the record, much farther out than 3 standard deviations (-8 °C is about 3 standard deviations from the mean) there are no similarly exceptionally warm days. This is because the rare really cold days are caused by so-called arctic outbursts, very cold air flowing south and west from the continent. There is not similar mechanism for hot days, yet. 3/ #Saanich #VictoriaBC
