Weather-Not Good

I'd need 100,000 you supply pipe

OK 75000. I don't think I'd need to move pump for one inch

Good growing conditions here, could use a little more rain but ok for now. Biggest concern is lack of heaft units. Soybeans seeded two weeks ago and just starting to emerge. Night time lows in single digits and daytime highs rarely hitting 20C. 30 day forecast show same pattern. Doubt we will see record corn and bean yields in mb again this year. Corn could be the biggest loser.

Whoa-whoa-whoa ladies and gentlemen. Someone check in with SF3, he mighty need some!

On tv the weather channel shows northern Alberta heavy and saskatoon north for rain. South of saskatoon light showers if any thing

Half done here. Some land too wet to get on. Might get wheat in before she hits. Wind change to SE today. Terragator booked.

Spinning shortwave showers hitting us right now. Trying to get ready for beans. Soil is too cold at only plus 8 and now showers which makes the soil even cooler.

Fields are still sopping wet with surprise frost boils or springs lurking.

There is a pile of canola getting put in the past 4 days and until weds night .
This area should have 90% canola in before rain.

Winds will be 50-70kms/hr here is advance of the system. Sounds to me like we'll be on the line between high and low pressure....little rain and mostly wind. I hope I'm wrong.

Calgary to the Hat supposed to get the worst of the wind. Sounds like what we got in March minus the snow and high windchills.

"Looking at the latest GFS forecast model, an area of southern Alberta between Calgary and Medicine Hat will be the focus of a major wind storm on Wednesday. Peak sustained winds of 73 knots or 135km/hr are showing up as of 0z or 6pm local time. Tree and property damage begin to occur at 80km/hr which is the criteria to issue wind warnings by Environment Canada. This will go way above and beyond that so widespread power outages and major widespread damage will occur across most of the province. A special weather statement is already in place for the region and expect warnings to be issued very early so people can prepare. To put this into perspective, 135km/hr winds would make this a category 1 hurricane but since it is on land, it is considered an "Inland Cyclone".

Like ma Pappy sez....things are never so bad that they couldn't be worse. Their wind puts what we'll be experiencing into perspective.

But me and wind have an understanding. ...it knows I hate it and when it wants to blow, I let it blow. (Like hobby's rain comment)
