Anyone get snow?

[freewheat]

Shut. Parsley. Shut. lol

Sorry to here about your snow freewheat. I must live closer to Pars that you. When I look out my window I see grass and dirt. Which kinda freaks me out since the last time we had a winter like this was 2001. The following growing season was dominated by drought and grasshoppers. I remember harvesting a 7 bus/ac wheat field that year. Ugly.

Every year I wait for that same kind of day. Bitter
snappin' cold. Sun glaring bright, Not a breath of
wind. Clear sky. Dead quiet. Door squeaks. Boots
crunch. Bites your face. A day like that is in my
genes. I do love it, you know. Pars

Hey Coleville, not looking for sympathy, but thanks. it is just more proof we live in a very bizarre region of this province. We are in a little tiny piece of wet, cool, damp conditions. Consistently. Which can be a blessing, but often not. Our forecast is for two nights of -38 on wed. thurs. Highs of -31 I believe. Wouldn't be shocked if we were the only ones.

This area makes hudson bay, sk look like the tropics! When SF3 talks of going to tahiti or wherever, I always wonder why he don't just go to Hudson bay! Then i remember he is from down south. I know now though, why John deere used to send up prototypes to try to get their machines to tackle the toughest harvest conditions on earth. Me thinks they were on to something. lol

And pars, there is something strangely clean, glorious and awesome about a deep snowfall, especially once it gets to be -38 afterwards. Beautiful in a demented kind of way.

One positive, it's a very fluffy dry 12".
Not much water in it, we hope.
Forecast says another 12" this week possible!
Hope it just goes to the "brown" areas.

FJ, how far north of Wadena are you?
Fosston, Rose Valley?

[SASKFARMER3]

Heading that way now, still nothing Regina
to Balgonie except trace, its cold. But
hey its Jan.

[freewheat]

Hey Sask, where are you heading to? I hear Foam lake got a couple three inches. i am not sure how far north this goes, but it seems Saskatoon got 4-5 inches, and swan river about like us at 11-12 inches.

Breadwinner, what did you guys get?

[SASKFARMER3]

Headed just to valley today then got the
call that no grain hauling today since
they were loading cars.
Virtually no snow till valley. YEA>

FW, that's our towns. It's about 25 miles.
How much E of Wadena are you?
We have enough powder to "skidoo", and make ridges around the yard, so it sure can go to "brown" areas now!

[freewheat]

FJ, I am about 20 miles northeast of Wadena, just east of the pothole country where the land is a bit higher, and more level. East of highway 38.

[BreadWinner]

South of Wadena got about 4-6inches , winter
wheat still bare on the headlands. Going to get
too cold for winter wheat that isn't covered up .
