Cold for April 1

[ajl]

Vegreville set a new low temp record last night in the -25 range beating the previous low from 2018. Global warming my azz. Unfortunately records at this location only go back to 1981 so it is difficult to compare to other cold periods like the early 50's.

Went skidooing in the rain yesterday. Can go wherever I wish. The snow pack did drop a bit because of the rain. Under a heavy snowfall warning right now. 6 to 8 plus inches expected. Warmest day so far was plus five for a brief few hours. We live in a strange spot. We always get more snow and lower temperatures than most places on the prairies. But this year the extreme difference has been more stark than usual even. Apparently lots of places have no snow at all. Seems foreign and bizarre.

Forecast is cold for at least a week. Gunna be a late spring for those who need to combine and especially those with snow in abundance.

Lambing starts in a few weeks. My favourite time of the year!

I’m not impressed. Was thinking this morning that I’m not usually this cold at -30. Then I looked at the temperature 🙈

Well out checking cows this morning, it is a balmy -20(-28 with the wind chill), I feel very fortunate that there are no new calves on the ground this am. We got lucky and only got 2 inches of snow on Monday. How is everyone else doing on April fools day? How is the snow pack in your area? Still over a foot deep here in undisturbed areas.

Sounds like its gonna be cold the next few nights. 14 day forecast doesnt look good for getting any combining done in April. I checked cows 3 times over night and still got fooled and missed 2 calves. Both alive and will be fine but gonna have short ears!

C02 tax working, and soon will make us COLDER yet! Are you Climate Radicals happy? All who voted to get f*cked over by socialists must be clapping.

Four inches of snow yesterday, -20C this morning. Virtually no melting so far, at least two feet of snow and six feet on the fence lines.



Fourth try at putting the pic right side up, I give up.
