Weather Chanel is calling this 'climate chaos'... as 'cooling' would not be 'cool' to say... being today is climate warming school day in Canada... Wow she should bring her sailing boat out west... and trade it for a toboggan to use in the rockys. Hear it is going to freeze the orchards and vinyards...ice cider and wine... chaos style? Will the forecasters be right?

Sad really , we had snow earlier and longer last year . Not hardly a mention on the weather network then lol.

Why focus on the sparsely populated Canadian Outback? When the GTA is the center of the universe.

Going with 5 inches of snow for our area by Tuesday. Won't melt till next weekend(hopefully)
Max snowfall rate Sunday after midnight

Looks inescapable now. Hope it is less or none for everyone

Sept. 21 2018. We got four inches of snow. ‘Twas not fun. What a strange way to make a living.

There is a lot of standing canola in this area.
We are in the supposed 3 or 4 inch of snow .
What would a foot of wet snow do to it.
Kinda wish I had swathed north /south now for even
Melting.

Im starting to question the traditional method of cutting east west, this getting snowed on is getting to be a fairly regular event, but also if you watch enough weather videos that actually educate in the commentary, there's a meridinal effect happening with the jet stream, basically the fluctuation is getting more exaggerated north and south versus traditional east west, if we are gonna get a big wind, chances are it'll be from north or north west as these cold blasts come in.

In response to the original question, the answer is no. Perhaps if I bury my head in the sand ( or snow as the case may be), it will go away.

I really like the forecast posted above about the snowfall warning in Montana etc. They actually give their confidence in the forecast. I need that in every forecast. It might be a 60% chance of showers day after tomorrow, but if they are only 20% confident that the system which brings 60% chance will pass through, then I can plan accordingly.

I've always liked that about US bulletins.

Historic blizzard with up to 20 inches of snow forecast to hit the Northern Rockies and Montana. Get the ski-doos out.

Wearing rubberboots this morning draining the sprayer and water nurse tank.....toooooo stoooooopid!

[seldomseen]

Wow reading this thread is giving me a feeling of dread but still hoping we miss the white crap. Feeling bad for the guys that get hit and i am sure some of us are if not all of us.


I had a younger sister born on the 19 of Sept. 1974 and i remember clearly. Sunny and warm and everyone out combining. The following day blinding snow storm that left about a foot of heavy snow. Lots of mud and ruts and struggles later that fall with crop staying out for the winter.

A world of extremes. We have crops flowering and you saw canola photos.

Friday October 4th we have 37c forecast gladly send it your way

Not welcome this time of year.
