Moisture past 90 days

[furrowtickler]

May , June and July tell the tale but interesting to see mid winter past 90 days.
Heavy snow across the parkland forecast, and needed especially across the north

This is the best time of the year to have a drought, but it is worrysome

About 1/2 western Canada still close to average over the past 90 days according to this other than southern Manitoba

I'll definitely take 25°C above normal in Jan/Feb than June/July. Snow is nice to see but doesn't add much to the yield at the end of the day. Definitely strange to see it totally brown in mid Feb. We have alright subsoil moisture, and definitely more than the past 4-5 years. Like you said, May-June-July will tell the tale. The trend is not our friend right now.

Soil moisture in our area is definitely better than the past 4-5 years as well .
We are sitting about normal for snow , but it’s settled a lot the past two weeks
most snowfall so far is NW of here in this system, which is good cause it was a terribly dry year last year with yields way below average in that area .
Definitely need a recharge in lakes and rivers north of here . Water levels were very low in the north the past few years

Looks like it could be blowing dirt with no snow.

Subsoil moisture in my area is very short. If it stayed like this we would have crops stressed for moisture by Mothers Day around here, and I'd be hauling water for cows. I remain cautiously optimistic, but sure hoping for some snow for dugouts.

Learned something new yesterday. Got a call from a govt contractor to see if they can still monitor snow levels on the old farm after mom past. Chinooks run off most years and 4 feet already disappeared . Snow and soil moisture as related to growing crops little revalence here.

Here too - our snow disappeared. Some dugouts filled up with runoff depending on their location. We have a new 5" of snow in these last few days. On top of a lot of ice. There could be another runoff when the real spring arrives. Soil moisture is all about what happens in the spring.

Dugouts are low here. Most of the snow was gone before this last little bit.

There is still time before spring, but it doesn't make for a very good year for ranchers if they are low on water.
