Time for another rain thread....

[Blaithin]

East of Olds the crops are, I won’t say great as that’s a jinx, but pretty darn good. Some swaths lost to hail like east of Innisfail but anything around Trochu and Threehills is pretty good considering. Low spots are lost but there aren’t lots of low spots. Also was up by Edmonton on the weekend and there’s some pathetic canola that direction. Here it’s a jungle. Took the horse to her summer pasture and it was past her chest (not that she would stand there nicely for a good photo)


Hasn’t rained here since Sunday when we got another quarter inch. Seems there’s storms a couple times a week but generally nice days in between. See what the ones forecasted for this week bring.

Hmmmmmmm I’m in the middle of a big purple patch. I guess that’s why I’m getting stuck with the quad on side hills in the grazing rye field. It’s worse now to get around than the end of April was.

P.S. raining again here tonight although it’s been 36 hours since the last shower so we were well overdue.

Got my moisture deficency report today and at my weather station we are at 143.39% over average, 73mm in may 39.5mm from june 1 to 15th,so there goes the insurance,50 acres rotting in field and 250 more getting ranker every day.

So we are swimming in water here, rain almost daily since beginning of June and cold. Rained twice overnight last night. But this is today's forcast. I have my doubts. With those temps and the moisture we have, I bet there will be some more boomers.

GDR, You are probably right. Your "pump" is primed. Ours isn't.... sucking lots of air.

Secondly, you're looking too far out. Long-term forecasts are a joke..... everyone's.

Plenty of my state is getting thirsty and starting to look for next real rain.

Touch wood mid next week things looking better.

Could be a lotto dogs breakfast could be a general soaker

Who knows but sadly someone somewere misses out often those who need it most.

Don’t worry about endless looking at models preceding the event until day before drives ya barmey

It wouldn't have to be a flood, there are lots of ways He could hit the reset button.

Maybe we are in a flood as we speak, a flood of "stupidity".

No shortage of that flowing around.

Edit it, of Biblical proportions.

Heat stress here, probably a defense for all kinds of atrocities?

She's too late for way out here !

Damage is done !

Next year !

1 800 Ritchies !

Too late for peas here but rain would still help the canola, flax, wheat and bank account fill.
