Frustrating low to watch ..

[freewheat]

lol. It is kinda fun. When it is not building to your southwest for three hours and slowly tracking your way! lol

Yesterday was a bit stressful watching that baby build. Thundered the whole time, was like a giant train running at low idle on my front lawn for 5 hours.

2-3 weeks ago, every little cloud (6)seemed to turn our way giving us 1/2 inch shots time and time again till water was standing in the lower spots. Now in the last two weeks they either seem to dissipate before they get here or turn directions and go around us. If I could have my druthers, I would have passed on the earlier ones and taken the rain now in the last two weeks, probably would have a better stand with rain later, although the earlier rains helped us through that extreme heat.

It's just el Niño, In our area, one should expect less rain in the summer and a long open fall. Not commenting on when to expect frost though.

Several storms yesterday built up SW over QL's NOT dissipating like last 3 months. Seems to have changed, but the huge spinning coma will mean too much rain on somebody.

At the moment we seem to be in the eye of the low. Seems to be rotating around us. Our farm is in SE Sask straight north of the Montana/N.D. border. If this low doesnt drift east we won't be getting much or if it rains itself out before it moves we're still SOL.

Watching Environment Canada's satellite imagery.

Klause can hear the thunder from 50 miles away. It's closer now. Martins and finches busy. I would accept the moisture although may get wet cooking tonight. Also as I type it's seeming cooling.

Bad sign Hopper. Can you smell the ice?

[Hopperbin]

Come to think of it yes I smell ice. As I open the fridge door

[freewheat]

lol.

I asked cuz we got hammered last night, and before and after the storm, I could smell the hail.

It was a lot more fun to watch the rains the last 8-10 years ...
