The evening news says sask got pingpong size hail and snow what say you.
It feels like it snowed somewhere, under 10 degrees all day here, and about 1mm rain.

If you're short of rain I hope you get some more. Pictures on the news of a brutal amount of hail in MooseJaw overnight.

There was no hail here in this afternoon's storm.

In Moose Jaw even a school bus got stuck in the street from so much hail and that was the morning 5 hours after the hail storm .

Got around 7/10 of an inch here east of Edmonton which was just about right to get everything going. Now would like warm weather so it does go. Hopefully no frost as it was cold yesterday.

If it rains much more we are screwed. Hard to believe how we can have water laying and running off, while others need the sky poison...

i know how you feel sheep , we are like that here more often than not . we got the first "good" rain here last night . hope it doesn't get carried away . did you get done seeding ?

Rained at 11, up to an inch yesterday, we are good for 2 weeks, but 2-3" in forecast...

[seldomseen]

It started raining yesterday afternoon and we have an inch now. The weather network is forecasting 25-30 mm tomorrow! I just hope they are wrong.

Take a dry sponge and pour water on it.....then take a moist sponge and do the same....


See the difference.....The ground when its as dry as it is, repels water. ...

These 1 inch in 10 minutes burst do no good.


A gentle quarter inch would have done the job for a week.

Ground is sealed with the pounding...reducing the infiltration rates....

Nothing in moderation....nothing.

I guess the industry is always ...go hard or go home...
