      The wind we got the last two days sure did a job here in MB., humidity was so low.

      R.M's should put burning bans on ASAP.

      At least it's cooling off this week, and hopefully some type of moisture will come

        Still looking for big spring storm, the wells are down at least 10 feet.

          Just as dry in Central Alberta, very rare that I can check cows in 2wd in March unless it is frozen solid. No runoff and certainly less sloughs than usual by far!!

            A shortage of water and hay is looming. Lots of producers are already short of water for cattle herds.

              Burning bans were announced in some R.M.s in Manitoba already from what I heard on radio.

                It’s so dry we might be seeding in early May here.

                    Drove around on a sandier field yesterday in 2wd terrorizing gophers.

                    Any low spots that did have a bit of water in them, sucked it all up the last couple days as what little frost their was fell out.
