    White Easter ?

    Fair bit of frost in the root piles and sounds like it's gonna stay that way into next weekend. No hiding easter eggs on front lawn for grandkids if snow forecast is right. Cant see having corn seeded by April 30 this year maybe molehills leveled.

    Went skidooing yesterday and could go wherever I wished. Plus yeah a lot more snow forecast, and no highs above zero all week. Was in Saskatoon a couple days ago and saw a tinge of new green growth. Here, there are twelve foot drifts and thigh deep snow. It’s crazy already.

      Soil temp 0 down to 100 cm. Hopefully the 30 to 40 cm coming this week will melt quickly.

        Still lots of white stuff around here and rained all day yesterday. Slow melt so hopefully some liquid is going in the ground.
        Just curious about the guy with the chicken egg experiment.

          90 days ago we had heavy fog the week coming up for a few days.
          Nah it's an old wives tale.

            We need to get a handful pf pretty warmish days strung together to get the frost out of the ground here yet. Yards and treelines still full of snow.

            We wont turn a wheel for at least a month here.

              Lots of snow to melt here also. Fields are still white with the odd high spot with the stubble showing. Tree lines and road sides have have huge banks that have settled a little but are still going to take a long time to melt. forecast for this coming week shows highs below 0 until next weekend.
              My Mother who would be close to 90 if she was still with us always said spring runoff usually started between the 7th to 10th of April. Not going to happen this year and hasn't been that early for a number of years.
              Climate Emergency for sure! Just not happening the way the Lib's say it is.

                Virtually all the snow gone here now.

                Got first wheat treating done Friday… picking up fertilizer now…

                Last 3 days really took out the snow…. 60km winds… warm nights….was 25c Friday

                Cool this week…now the yard is dry… hook up seeder… haul Nexera to Bunge and bring seed/Fert back to farm….

                No moisture forecast…. Frost going out of low areas.

                Cheers

                    Most snow is gone. She all soaked in as snow came early enough that there was no frost. We’ll be harrowing in a few weeks at least. Have equipment pulled out already and ready to go. Plan to start branding calves over Easter break in less than 10 days. Unless we get a late storm we’ll have one of the earliest starts in a long time.
