Environment Canada Satellite

If you check the satellite right now, you will see a huge storm system coming straight for us from Montana- animate it, and watch how it tracks. You will notice the oddest trajectory as it comes to the border, it stalls. . How does it know that it can't get through customs? LOL

COLD DRY bubble stuck on the prairies, strange shit indeed. Looks so obvious on satellite. Only wait for the DOME to break!

[SASKFARMER3]

Now that's funny!

[farmaholic]

It wants to, but they won't let it. Who's they?

[furrowtickler]

The DOME burst here yesterday, but just a t storm path - vicious though it was.

Is the "Dome of Dryness" like the "Cone of Silence"?

Those 148 frame animations go back a few days. Very nice info

[sumdumguy]

yep those animated frames sure tell a story about the power of an Omega block. In 1980, the very same pattern hung around until July 19, but it was hot and windy, grasshoppers, wireworm, sod webworm in the lawns. The late seeded crops and lentils were beautiful. The cereals never tillered and even with a straight cut header, son as they were touched they tipped over. But holy smokes, when the rain started in July, we realized that the weeds were waiting in anticipation of the good drink. Those who didn't spray during the drought weren't pleased with the weedy mess that came through the light stand.

It's like the little engine that could, the Goes-West Animation shows it's really trying hard to break through. Let's all go wash the car.

Cut some hay, leave trucks untarped, take shingles off a roof...

[MBgrower]

Taking the combines out of the sheds too

I'll leave a pallet of canola seed outside tonight if that makes it rain.

Are some dry areas getting rain now?

[fjlip]

Oh ya, probably NOT dry areas...

The more significant amounts will be along and south of the Trans Canada Highway corridor.

Yah! bring it on - happy to be getting moisture for our MB place at least.
Was raining last night here in AB - we got 0.3mm.
