Agreed. My favourite shows are before my time: Beverly Hillbillies, Twilight Zone, Hogan’s Heroes, All In The Family.

Welp l'm going with B grade only cause of the major snowfall event and cold 🥶 in mid January it was too short to me l almost went with C+ but l was being generous really.
C+ as well. The depth of that protracted cold snap and the Jan 17 snowfall were impressive.

Solid dump of snow in the Chilcotin this week, or rather, on the West Chilcotin as is typical. 15 cm on the West Side of Tatla Lake, and maybe 5 cm at Puntzi Mountain on the east side of the lake. By the time you get to Williams Lake nothing, although up at the elevation of the airport there was certainly a little bit of snow.

But 3 km south of Tatla Lake it was about 8 cm, and a few more km south at Tatlayoko Lake it was a light skiff.

Here is Tatlayoko Lake yesterday...
