SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if reduced tillage is the reason for the increased precip. Almost all of the great plains has changed tillage practices. That's a lot of black dirt that doesn't get as warm.
Likely this point has been made by many and I'm just not aware of it.

Agree with fjlip we here are much wetter than last fall. Not even sure if can pick the rocks anymore that we have flagged with the outback gps From harrow and spraying. Time will tell.

The other thing she did yesterday to me was while checking the bin to fill i opened the check hole at the top and a damn mouse jumped in my face,not so ha,ha when your 30ft in the air.

Glad you didn't fall Cotton. You must have had your wits about you to keep on hangin on. Could have been disastrous.

Meanwhile out on the western fringe we are going into winter with likely the lowest groundwater levels since settlement @1902.
Incredibly dry.

Grass I always say you can have all our water if you want it! But it's funny the heaviest snowfall for tonight you guessed it our area. We actually don't need anymore Moistue till next July! You can have ours please!

[Hopperbin]

According to radar your getting dumped on sask3. Its coming down as rain not much snow yet here nothing staying.

Grass last year this time we were dry. Shit happens.

So were we hopper, and the year before - this area is experiencing a drying trend. Last time we had a "wet" year was '07 I think.

Snowing with a venagnce here. Started an hour ago and the ground is covered. I could use a P.E.T. walk in the snow to ask, "Why?" Pars

Our ground was covered in snow this morning at 7, and it never stopped snowing all day. Wife was in town, 20 miles west of us. Guess what? No snow there. We have a good 4 inches on the ground. I am an hour east of Hopper. If we get much more, water will be running off. I may be lighting some matches come spring.
