Frost poll

If garden plants are showing some damage than there will be damage in field crops. We had no damage on garden tomatoes last year(04)but frost damage on spring wheat and durum in west central Sask.

The low was 0.8 degrees Saturday night at the weather station. There was white frost on grass in some farm yards.

That temp of 0.8 degrees was here at Brooks.

Sounds like it is coming again tonight.

Just when you think you have escaped it for a while...

Saw a field of corn 1/2 hour west of Brooks yesterday. In the low area of the field, all the top leaves had frozen off and were dried up!

Looking cool tonight at Rimbey - just dipping below 2c at 9pm, not a cloud in the sky it could be a long night.

Environment Canada has online weather data at:

Checking through various locations it shows near freezing minimum temperatures on Saturday August 13.
