Radio says -2 at Calgary airport and -4 just west of the city.

Forecast for Winterpeg tonight, -6 with snow!

**grrrr** · May 13, 2009, 07:20

I can find snow in the tree lines here. This is old snow, not new.

The situation is now referred to as "Climate change" and yes it is happening

Peas were in the ground for 20 days before emerging noticed some on sunday.

Glad to see this rain and snow. I have never seen it this dry. There is enough moisture below but you had to go down 3 to 4 inches to get to it now.
So you either go down and rip and tear to put seed into moisture Or just lay the seed in dry dirt at 1- 2 inches
Had seeded peas and lentils into moisture but all the high winds and not even a shower caused seed bed to dry.

Yes its climate change and maybe just maybe its getting colder due to sun spots. not C02.
Pushed apart snow piles left in field around the bags. looks funny seeding through these.

DITTO! I have strongly suggested that to MP and MLA re CO2 reductions etc. Emailed Environ Canada to retract all Global Warming Lies. Yesterday it hailed quarter sized, off and on for an hour in Kelvington, Fosston & Rose Valley area. Lots of thunder, plus 1/2 an inch so all is at standstill. Soil moisture is ideal but too cold. Soil temps at 4C, so what could grow? I guess 20% seeded. Minus 4 now, with a wicked wind all night. Yes, I am hearing its the decreased sun activity as indicated by less sunspots. Let's send Gore and Suzuki up there to fix that! At very least consequences for the warming lie perpetrators.

The reduced sun spot activity is probably causing the cold spring. BUT the long term outlook tells us the climate is changing with increased temps.
If it had been called "climate change" from the start we would not have every Tom dick and harry being naysayers every time there was a cold day.

I read or heard form someone that the 100 year SLIGHT increase was wiped out by record cold temps since December. Winter record cold temps were set everywhere. Many climatologists never bought into warming and climate has always changed, eg 1100's warm spell, and 1700's mini ice age. Lets keep researching this.

People like mustardman do not want discussion, they want society to blindly follow without question. It makes me sick.
