There is a life lesson in every episode of The Sopranos. Usually mired in dark, violent, morbid undertones but, none the less, the lesson is there.

Thought you guys to the south est of here missed this one. Almost sounds like you got it monday we got ours sunday night. Woke up to 6 inches of wet stuff on vehicles railing etc, ground seemed to have less. It was so ugly on monday I give the hired man a days pay and tuesday off and paid wages for the month. Hopefully get better work out of him if work him on nicer days. Thanks to Hobby now i got whatcha gonna do when she says "goood bye" stuck in my head.

We did pretty well...

Drove from Red Deer to home on Sunday night... hit snow as S'toon, rain an hr west...

We got some stuff on ground, but negligible.

Dad still lives in Dauphin, MB... had a bucket out, melted down 12" of wet snow, had 6" of water left... VERY wet stuff. Gotta haul equipment out of there, not fun... driveway is washed out, 70% of roads in RM of Ethelbert are washed out..... when this snow melts it'll be a f***k show.


Should be seeding here in 14 days.

[Hopperbin]

14 days sounds about right. Interesting no one knew when it actually snowed just that it was sometime over night.

[Klause]

I'm gonna swing by tomorrow morning Hopper...

We pulled in around 2 AM... had probably started an hr or two earlier as there wasn't much on the ground yet.

The Leroy highway was all slush already though.

Well I guess we finally lucked out in our area. Decided to go away on a road trip to Minneapolis.
Left Friday, got home tonight. Very wet in the areas we drove through. Zero field work being
done along the way. Coming home today rain in Fargo to Portage La Prairie, then heavy snow all
the way to Theodore, Sk. Got home and a lot of snow melted here over the weekend. Light runoff
now and we had no snow at all. Feel for everyone else, we got that 12" of wet shit last year in the
beginning of May. Hopefully it warms up like they are forecasting.

This has to be a first. I was in the
field on April 28, while the rest of the
prairies were under snow drifts, this is
as far west as you can get, about the
lowest heat units on the prairies, and
the wetest west of Manitoba. I don't
say that to rub salt in the wounds, but
to point out how odd the weather has
been. It has still been far below
average temps, but we got a few days of
a huge drying wind, snow still in the
ditches, but the fields are thawed out
and drying. Well actually, I was
plowing and you can do that underwater.

There are a few comments here about how
many years of wet you have had to
endure, which reminded me of another
thread I started in another forum.
About when/how to accept that the
climate trend has changed, and what you
would do as a farmer. We do it all the
time in recent years, but that is
because the weather had been getting
more favorable, what happens when it
goes the other way, or maybe it already
is, global cooling anyone?

Something to help make it through the snow. From an email I got.

This lady wrote a song about this never ending winter, kind of brightens the day.
She farms near Moose Jaw.
