Center of the low ....

Forming on radar again just SW of the Battlefords on radar again.
Will be nice when this shit is done

[seldomseen]

Are you getting rain or snow? I just looked at the radar and saw the swirl. It is hard to believe that we keep missing that ugly stuff over here on the sunny east side. I hope our luck holds.

We had that EVIL STUCK snow system in 2012, 18" of wet shit in April, over a small area cause it just SAT HERE! Sympathies but nobody can change weather, oh wait call Justin maybe he can TAX the SYSTEM away!!!

Finally seen sun this afternoon. Yesterday and this morning we had snow. We're east of Lloyd and seems south of here there was more snow this last go. Before it seems we've been hammered with everything out of NW Alberta. If the wind blew and the sun shined we'd be going in a couple weeks at best. Fair amount of crop out in pockets around here. It's ****ed anyway. Can't burn much cause of oil leases and fire hazards. Think it'll be a case guys will fallow these fields.

Blue sky now that the low pushed off , although it was -5 early this morning , still good to see the sun .
Forecasts look better but some will still be 7-14 days from getting anything done.
Overnight temps going forward look much warmer and things will start to green up in about 2-3 days.
Going to stick the soil temp gauge in - when the ground thaws lol, and track the ave daily readings over the next 7 days.
Never done that before but given the forecast it should be interesting.
I know some areas will still be far too wet for soil temp to matter for 10 days or more yet regardless.
My guess is seeding will start on lighter land by next Saturday for some guys .

Rain shower last night as front moved through.

Surprise system dumped on Regina (not sure how much) last night at about 11:00. But gotta report that Lentils are being seeded into burnt Canaryseed stubble SE of the metropolis.

furrowtickler, why don't you take your turn at planting in MUD, we've being doing it the last 6 years.

[furrowtickler]

Hopefully don't have too seed into mud.
We have a lot of time yet if needed to get started.

What on earth makes a guy want to create that kind of work and stress. Looking at that picture how can you tell where there is any water sitting in the stubble? Well I guess he's better than me just by looking at the iron that's buried in the mud so I better shut my mouth now.......

we sure have been lucky here although luck could be running out . small shower last night but sun has been shining every day .just no heat . did manage to take winter underwear off yesterday ! lots of burning been going on here this week , cereals that are nfg anymore alfalfa that never got combined ,canary straw windrowed behind combine .some harrowing and tillage going on . ground drying real nice ,but still need some more drying . most of the sloughs are empty . interesting observation yesterday was some red clover we seeded with canola last year was under water for 5 months until freeze up seems to be growing now that sloughs are dry . some was under 2 feet of water for that long. that's some tough shit !

Maybe age and experience does count for something
Having said that I know I will get stuck like that again, just hate the thought

Zero till , heavy straw and a wet fall / spring ... not going to be fun for a lot of guys.
Dry years or areas like Pontex , that straw cover usually a god send.
Like em or not a V/T machine, or gates coulter harrow would make a huge difference there in just a few days - with the right weather .
A lot of areas still can't support a quad so time in the only helpful thing.
Gona be lots of pictures and stuck stories this spring .
