Some one explain the Regina Blocking pattern with moisture.

[SASKFARMER3]

Over and over all summer i watch this pattern and its almost like the hand of god is deflecting all moisture away from a area around Regina.

Its almost hilarious how a big rain event is set up and all news has it then it does the exact same thing.



This is the morning satellite shot and their it is plain and simple.

Radar shot.



Funny i actually thought it was breaking down or going to really change but no what ever is causing it is still firmly in place.

4 tenth plus 7 plus 2 = 1.3 since September.

Well this won't replenish the soil one bit.

Still time to get the 4 before freeze up but what is the Regina Block.

Stupid politicians or just hot air.

Hey tom maybe you can explain this since your our most religious poster.

Im a loss for words. No panic yet but funny how it sets up every single time since last December.

Well you prayed for it for 15 years lol
Unfortunately we did not , there is an area from here northeast still incredibly dry as well .
It is what it is sometimes .

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes thats what my mother laughs at every day.

But isn't it funny how a pattern sets up and continues for a long time. Animating the radar and sat is just hilarious.

It sets up got to dump the huge one and either starts after or starts before and doesn't get their or like the other day a perfect 90degree with regina as the base point.

I just find it so interesting.

Ya, it's ****in hilarious!

For some it's been a tragicomedy!

A laugh a minute!

Just like when it rains and never seems to stop!

Ok, enough sarcasm for now.

[SASKFARMER3]

But its the same area that for 15 years the storms hit and hit hard. Backed in went forward and came back then hit again from some to huge amounts. Now total opposite.

We have to laugh at it as when it was wet it was hilarious and now the tap is off or just enough.

This happened in the eighties too, big wet systems would be moving in from all directions and break up just as they approached this region. In 1980, we plowed everything down, 81 land blew like hell, later crops did ok, but early-seeded crops not so good. We survived because land payments were low, inputs were low, we used our own seed - still seeding with discers, no burn-off needed, cheap anhydrous and fuel pretty cheap until the oil spike, but there were grasshoppers and crickets to contend with, continuous spraying your perimeters with Lorsban, Decis and anything you could get your hands on. Turkeys running around our yards so hoppers wouldn't clean off all green life. Luckily, lentil and canary prices responded favoribly and compensated for the small crops so we could plant another year. Farmers with cattle around Radville followed our combines in lentil fields with balers, (I think three years.) There were open range laws in the livestock producing RM's and farmers put their kids on horses all day, herding cattle in the blazing hot sun, just to maintain their cattle herds because there was no hay. Governments subsidized incoming semis of hay with trucking subsidies. Community pastures were bald as a billiard ball. There was much media attention about the repeating pattern, it was called an omega block supposedly caused by the erruption of Mount St. Helen. Government made pay-outs in some disaster RMs. As far as I know, it never affected any regions west and north of here like it affected the Regina Block.

Seven months before the crop even goes into the ground, what crop are you losing at this point?

You asked , pleaded and prayed for a drought . Give thanks as you have recieved what you asked for . One must remember to be careful of what you ask for .

There is nothing between to wet and to dry..so pick one.and deal with it.but enjoy the dryer side.mud is gross to work with.

Drew on Larry's email was guessing MAX amounts Regina East a few days back...well he too is baffled by the pattern. Rains where it always rains, dry hard to break, moisture attracts moisture but since Aug we were very dry at 40mm now, Wadena at 60...so who knows , it's CHAOS, as Krusner suggests in his book.
