    Some rain and some Skunked.

    It looks like the big rain event of 3 inches turned into 3/10s. for Saskatchewan. Few hits and miss spots but on average the rain event produced anywhere from 1/10 to 1/2 with not many at 1.

    All rain for the next 7 days is out of Environment Canadas forecast so we're looking at the week after fathers day.

    Rain in drought makes grain and it looks like the winner is Alberta and SE Sask and into Manitoba.

    The Gap was skunked.

    We need the jet stream to change and change fast.

    But Staff will look out there office window in Manitoba or Calgary and state the drought is over.

    Had one tell me farmers are finally fall pricing in Alberta as they know a crop is made. Similar in Manitoba but Sask farmers are gun shy.

    Wonder why can't deliver if you have nothing to deliver.

    Ah farming and I actually think it looks like 1988 all over again. First good rain was the 23rd of June. 1.2 inches.

    Funny how some things we remember the times and dates and what we were doing when things happen.

    Like when JFK got shot, Elvis died, your mom and dad passed and when it rained in 88.

      Yes, it is I was combining Barley the day Elvis died behind the house. Mom was a big fan. JFK I was playing with blocks to small. But yes my Uncle had his auction sale the day after that rain event and wow it went well. Every single guy was there and happy.

      Dad still says 1961 was really dry and they only combined the Valley as it floods every spring plus sloughs. They hayed the big lake because it dried up.

      In 1988 the drought made it up to 5 miles South and West of us. We had a crop. Not great but we harvested.

        I would say 60-70% of the dry area in western Canada got skunked or so very little it will be of no help what so ever

          It seems the Reddeer corridor and from Weyburn north a bit had a good storm. Some Manitoba but for the most part Skunked.

            You're a legend SF3 who knew? - was that behind your house in Regina or Florida?
            Cooled off here at least overnight, less than 1/10th of rain so far.

              1.5 tenths here. Gone by noon with the wind blowing. Wind most days. Unreal.
