From Drought to Flood

Just looked out the shop door .
Ah 1988 the good old days ,
As black as it is today , just think if we tilled like we did back then, no significant precip since November. Edmonton is only 225 miles away, will take anything.

Same here now

Got 2/10 of measurable precipitation plus hail in about 10 minutes. Think the snow coming looks to be north of us a ways. Hope furrow the system doesn’t Peter out before it gets to you.

I think we are stuck in the middle by all weather models I see
Just dry cold air coming here
Seen one hint of lows of -10 to -13 possible Thursday morning in NW sask and NE Alberta .

1 inch of rain so far, and just started snowing. Moving the sprayer to the shop. 0 degrees forecast for tonight, -3 tomorrow night, and -2 Thursday night. Supposed to be below zero for 7-8 hours each night, and usually 3-4 degrees cooler than the forecast low.

Kinda glad I had a little delay getting going seeding and just started 4 days ago. Some guys started may 1st and have peas, wheat, and barley up in rows. Even the odd guy with canola up. Lots of nervousness coming out in conversations.

HAHA, I gamble enough every year! Besides, don't have my covid shot, so can't travel

Minus 5 would be a disaster. Even cereals won’t survive that for five hours. We only have one field of durum up. We were holding off because Saskfarmer told us not to plant Canola until after 16 th. He might deserve a veggie burger or sumting. 😂

Yeah, I don't think it is gonna turn out very well. Was only 3.7 degrees at 8:00pm. Half inch of snow cover, so should be ok tonight. Tomorrow is another story.

Looks like saskfarmer gave the advice of the year. He wins the hero cookie.

Wish I could send the rest of what’s coming your way since it’s running off anyway. Supposed to continue till morning although it’s switching to hard water. Not gonna be planting for a while now. Although the grass is loving it.

Definitely set for pasture now whereas ten days ago it was looking pretty grim. Hopefully it carries on to the east 🍀

Almost enough to pull out the snowmobiles! Lol

Lowered tonight’s low to -4...🥶
