On the weathernetwork TV station they mentioned 50-75 mm came down with hail SE of Francis, SK.

Have to question everything they report though.

That's not far ftom here.....could have been, the cell looked pretty dark from my vantage point and the illustrious radar looked pretty intense too.

Tough for me knowing it's so close yet too far!

This ****ing farming racket is like playing the lottery.

I'm moving to the Garden of Eden, the land of 4 leaf clovers and horse shoes, right beside SF3......, unless my Slum of the Ghetto Bad Luck Schleprock luck follows me and I curse the whole ****en area!

I'm going to end this post on a positive tone...."you never know what worse luck my bad luck saved me from"!!!!!

My glass is less than half empty, time for a refill.

We are heavy dark low cloud cover and its raining very lightly. At this rate I am not sure we would get a half inch even if it rained all night.

The birds seem happy!

Fingers crossed here tonight. Radar looks promising. I've been here for 30 years with my dad and now just me and I've never seen too dry in this area. We need rain. Been too ****ing wet more times than I can count recently. Parkland Manitoba region.

A gorgeous inch point three.

......still no measurable rain. Our weather station is capable of measuring in .01 of an inch increments.

Quite disappointed, even with my low expectation, it is what it is, attitude.

The evolution of weather(precipitation) forecasting.

I don't think we are any further ahead than we were decades ago. Tracking systems should have improved with satellite imagery, watching radar were precipitation is developing and falling is nice but they are still guessing where and how much precipitation will fall when they make predictions even just days ahead of when things are SUPPOSED to happen.

What's an acceptable margin of error? Not that anyone is accountable anyway.

It was almost laughable when CTV weather was forecasting about 52mm in and around Regina last night. Good thing I don't put much stock in forecasts, but we did spread on our left over fertilizer from seeding "thinking" SURELY we will get "some" rain. I guess it "could" have happened!

Does "over confident" weather forecasting grind your gears?

Yes, I'm disappointed. Even if I didn't listen to any over zealous forecasting, I can see what's happening with my own eyes...boots on the ground, ears...talking to friends from afar and near, eye(satellite) in the sky, radar imagery.

Ignorance was bliss!
