    Drier Weather for Prairies in 2015? Yes wishes do come true!

    long-range weather report is suggesting the possibility of drier conditions on the Prairies in 2015.

    The latest Weather Prognosticator from World Weather Inc. said a combination of weather phenomenon is coming together to raise the potential for dryness in the northern U.S. Plains and the Prairies this coming summer.

    According to the report, a ridge of high pressure that is expected to develop over Western Canada this winter may linger into the spring and summer. The position of the ridge will be such that rainfall will be limited in many areas across the region and temperatures will be allowed to heat up - mostly in the western prairies. Meanwhile, the high pressure ridge may also be ‘reinforced’ by remaining El Nino conditions, the report added.

    Finally, the report noted a study that concluded there has been some tendency in the past for dryness and even drought in Western Canada when sea surface temperature anomalies are similar to those seen today.

    “Our preliminary assessment of potential weather in the summer of 2015 may be more moisture challenged than in recent years. . .” World Weather said in its report.

    Drier conditions in some parts of the Prairies would likely be welcomed by producers in areas of Saskatchewan and Manitoba that suffered through overly wet conditions in 2014. In fact, soil moisture levels remain so high that some farmers have already expressed concern that even normal snowfall this winter could result in more boggy conditions and unseeded acres again in 2015.

    However, a drier bias would not sit well with producers in some parts of northern Alberta and the Peace River district, where soil moisture is actually short.

    Yes Virginia their is a Santa Clause! This would be the best thing in the world bring it on, bring it on! WO HO!
    BEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes this indeed would be the best news ever. Cycles last between 4 to 6 years this one was 8. Maybe were going back to normal. Snow in our part of the world is ok to sled, even with this weeks warm up the snow will not go.
    But as a realist I will wait till spring to see if the weather is actually changing before I get to excited and make major changes to my cropping plans. One wet snow event in late April or early May and were back in the mud bowl.
    But it is reason to get a little bit positive about the 2015 growing season even if seeding is 142 days away!

      "Moisture challenged"? Like music to my ears. The only better news, is if they said they think this trend would last for 20 years or more.

      Trouble is, they are only forecasters, they are probably wrong...

          You will probably be on an emotional Bi Polar roller coaster ride before the beginning of the next growing season or a deep state of depression by the time the next growing season ends....

          One day at a time.

              Prairies are 3 provinces. Averages always has highs and lows.. It is always OK to hope and dream mother nature will be good to us but that is about as far as it goes.

                    Boys the largest crop was a year ago with 1 inch in the growing season! But that year storm in early may before seeding then all fall went wet!
                    Bring on normal and the last 8 weren't normal! So bring it on!
