Relentless SE wind for 2 days, not a drop in site.
60% done, fighting with gremlins on the drill past couple days.
Lots of acres to go around here yet.

Got our first rain since the snow overnight, 6/10” in total. Perfect rain for germination, everything should pop out of the ground quickly now. Finished canola plots yesterday, now just a few wet acres that we missed earlier. Will anger the rain gods seeding potholes, hopefully bring on more precipitation.

Had .4 tenths on Tuesday which was nice but now another 1.5 inches over night and this morning which has water pooling. Not what you want on canola seedlings.

For the some of the driest areas of western Canada this rain , although variable will give those areas at least a chance of a crop
Many areas were incredibly dire as of 5 days ago.
Not to mention the forest areas in Alberta and Sask and those communities all through there .
Not a drought breaker ,but relief for a few weeks at least

for 'bertans, there's a neat tool here where you can check current rainfall vs historical.
https://agriculture.alberta.ca/acis/weather-data-viewer.jsp
my area: typically we've gotten almost 2" from Apr 20 till now. This year just 1/2" to date.

Too much already. It can stop anytime, can’t just get a nice half inch and be done for a week no it has to keep coming once it starts.

We had 2 thunderstorms overnight gauge only showed 1/2 inch but sure looks like more first one came down so fast don’t think most of it registered in the gauge. Pouring again too.

Rained most of the day and gauge shows 2 inches. Water running again!
Half inch would have been perfect.
Sun will come out one day and then the mosquitos will be out in full force.

I have my knee pads on, heading out kneeling toward Mecca. 🙏 Very young Canola love a good soaking to get ahead of the flea beetles. The predictions went from 50 mm to 25 mm, now maybe 10.

Blue versi, send that rain here. Our brother’s 1979, Steiger Tiger with Cummins 1150 and 6-speed Allison Automatic with torque converter, pulled a 60 foot Morris C2 flawlessly with only an oil change —— again. He seeded his home section with less than 300 gallons in really wet heavy gumbo, no recirculating, no re-exhaust just worry-free brute force, year after year. That tractor gotta take the prize!

I wish I could share some. Water sitting in low spots and running down furrows in the hills now. A little moderation would be nice. We needed a little shot just to get things going but in this area sometimes it doesn’t know when to quit. 🤷

Maybe when the weather network and env Canada finish answering what is a woman they can work on what is rain.
Couple drops on the windshield doesn’t qualify neither does disappearing forecasts daily.

Bethune radar down again. What a joke that station is.

Wanna see the Border Block? Go to Environment Canada, hit satellite, then Goes West, then animation third level down. See the gigantic front coming from the US. Odd phenomenon, you tell me what you see about the movement of that storm.

Another thunderstorm and downpour last night, raining again now. This is getting ridiculous already. 6 days straight now of moisture. Water pooling, ducks waddling in the field. 23 inches last year could be easily broken if this keeps up.

Beautiful storm last night at 1:09 a.m. Lots of noise came with about 1/2 inch. Perfect, TY Great Being✅

Half inch 3 weeks ago.
Anything in before that or deeper after, has a great start.
Some rows seeded a week ago sitting in dust waiting. Moisture probe stops at 2'. Missed the last two often wet weekends.
Hopefully comes through the next.
If we need 6" minimum in June alone, it better start.
Checkbook closed until further notice.

Another inch last night. Hard rain. Steady thunder/ lightning for an HOUR! A string of cloudy wet days....June style, a bit early for small crop. Soak in, don't pond.

We must be neighbors.
Sounds just like what’s going on here.
Gets a little frustrating!

It's dry here, no doubt about it. Lawn almost turned green a couple of weeks ago when we got 1/4 inch. Back to ugly brown. Cereals and peas look alright. Peas were four nodes, so sprayed them. The first field of canola we seeded two weeks ago, 3/4 - 1 inch, just sitting there. I quit looking after that. But I am taking the day off, first time in a long time. Bike ride this morning, pickleball this afternoon, a guy has to have a life. Let's hope everyone gets the weather they need.

Grass stalling out here. Forecast dryed right up. Too early to call. But planning for the worst. Which is a crop just at coverage you have to fight to get off haha. If it doesn't rain by a certain date I don't want any.....
Looks like we're out of system season and into isolated storm season for rain already.
