Rain Totals some are good some are ok and some WTF Piss all.

So jazz you would rather have plus 30 C and a strong wind for several weeks in the middle of a historic drought with not enough moisture to germinate your crops? LOL

And you must think we have never had frost in May before? Were you just born yesterday? Over my many years of farming we have had snow in May several times.

I wonder why many people suggest waiting till after the May long weekend before putting out sensitive bedding plants? Hmmm?

I would rather have the cool weather and rain in May than a prolonged drought and hot temperatures.

Lots of producers have learned the hard way to plant canola later to reduce the risk of frost damage.

Variability will continue when you farm in the middle of a continent north of 49 degrees. Climate change is measured in decades not days,weeks or seasons.

Seems those two bolded statements are contradictory....farmed for many years , seen snow in May,,,climate change measured over decades...


So if you have seen it before ....whats changing?

I can not argue your "facts" as you stated both sides...

chuck, you need to get out more. The interaction of warm and cold fronts are what makes our weather including life giving rain and snow. Lowering the temp 2deg or whatever the climate cult want would trim 10% off our food output. Most food is grown in northern hemispheres.

My neighbors can tell you how well -10 deg nights were for germinating their wheat.

If you know anything about farming, you would know conditions can change on a dime here. So it was 30deg for a couple days. So what? That wasnt indicative of anything.

Chuck back in grade 11 after track and field that I won and went on to districts in high jump we went swimming and boating after at echo lake. Districts a week later we had snowstorm. I lost to a very good high jumper.

The point being nothing has changed in 50 years. Dad tells about a dry 1961 that it never rained all year yet David Philips doesn't know that. Come on I can buy info from scientists any day.

Follow the money it all flows to those who want to alter the facts to suit skippy and company.

Chuck you're a ****ing idiot.

Did you guys notice those hot days were not unbearable...its because the humidity was so low it actually had a cooling effect.

Ask anyone about cooling towers at a large industrial plant like EVraz and how hot low humidity days actually help in cooling ...same goes for the human body.

Do we have to explain the difference between weather versus climate again and again?

Here is what is changing in pictures for the dullards.

The U.S. Climate Normals collection has 10 versions: 1901-1930, 1911-1940 and so on through 1991-2020. In the image below, we’ve compared the U.S. annual average temperature during each Normals period to the 20th-century average (1901-2000). The influence of long-term global warming is obvious: The earliest map in the series has the most widespread and darkest blues, and the most recent map has the most widespread and darkest reds.

We have seen frost and snow in May , even into June . Most times just deal with it. 95% of the time it’s not worth reseeding and does recover fine
But this is much different
Never has it been this cold for several nights for 10 plus hours each night being as dry as it is .
I have seen it colder yup, but not for these long duration periods in this dry of situation.... no one has here . Even guys I have talked to in their 70’s and 80’s .
Time will tell , but getting the canola into moisture before moisture ran out was not a bad decision, may be unlucky but not wrong at all .
May long weekend seems always to be a challenge.
Time will tell by Tuesday

Even with climate change and warming, frost and snow in May will still occur.

Don't rely on your memory to recall what happened 30 years ago. Your memory can't measure averages, small changes and trends. Look at reliable records.
