That North West wind sure brought some cold air in. Forecast low Sunday night is 1 degree, probably going to freeze.....must be a full moon tomorrow.

Getting close - change

[AlbertaFarmer5]

One forecast has us getting down to -5, in the next few days. A lot of people were busy seeding in April, which is unheard of here, will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Anything up?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Not that i've seen yet. It seems early crops take 2 weeks or more to emerge, late seeded takes 4 days usually.

So why everyone shit the bed?

It's for bragging rights.

I swear some guys are trying to push it to try to double crop. Lol.

[farmaholic]

Trees are greening up, yard grass could be cut soon, seen some wild oats, volunteers and weeds germinating, of all things saw a barn swallow yesterday (two weeks earlier than normal). I hope.I don't have the honor of seeding two crops in 2015 ;-)...

Lots of soybeans in the ground in s Mb. Looks like a lot of reseeding could happen here with a good frost later this month. Seeding of all other crops nearing completion s of #1hwy east of portage la prairie. Could use a drink. Getting dusty.

Dry in Southwestern Manitoba??

Crazy......

One good thing - this is the only full moon this month and it's early - this will be the coldest few nights of May . It will get warmer ... But not for a few days grrrrrr .. If anyone had the time look back each month for a few years and find the coldest five nights of each month - 90% of the time it's within the 5 days if the full moon , well it's been the same for history . Not necessarily the "frost " in summer but it does draw down the jet stream in this part of North America BTW.
Anyway I am prob full of b/s but I would bet a jug of rum again I am right .
Experts say there is no connection , but the experts are WHO ??? Lol

Windshields definitely frost covered this morning.
