So Easter egg forecasters , what is in store for us weather wise this year??

Two things sheepwheat;

1) Your tale of sheep going over the fence, reminds me of "Clarkson's Farm" lol, have you seen it on Amazon Prime,,, you'd get a blast out of it.
2) Sounds like it might be too cold for your maple syrup runs???

Anybody watch Clarkson's Farm, on Prime? Pretty funny. life on a, (not so usual), British farm, operated by Jeremy Clarkson, a former motor and sport car mag writer. Still laughing from listening to the Welsh(?) fence repairman, lol lol lol

Yeah we really enjoyed Clarksons farm. It was actually fairly well done and fairly true to life, all considered. Oh yeah the unintelligible fence maker! Lol. Might have to watch it again.

I broke a few maple twigs the other day when it was warmer. No drips at all. I’m no expert, but for us, when there is so much snow in the bush still, there isn’t much sap flowing. And yeah it’s too cold too. It may be a no syrup year, because when it suddenly warms up, (they claim double digits by Thursday, I’ll believe it when I see it), I presume that will be it. Plus five, minus five looks like it won’t happen.

When the sheep walked over the fence I was in the bale yard grabbing a bale and they just walked over the fence towards me. We got a cell tower up last summer a few miles away, so I just texted the fam for help. Before that tower, our cell service was third world, and I would have been building a border collie barking drone to chase them back in! Haha.

yes we got a taste of farming in the south , probably a once in a lifetime chance for us NE swamp dwellers . was so relaxing . one weekend the forecast looked good , just quit combining and went fishing at only 2/3 done . usually hair straight back, scared we are gonna lose an hour or two to a breakdown that we can never recover. i could handle that again

You should have tried farming in the south the last few years. Not fun. ever tried combining a 5 bpa pea crop , just for seed for next year? Durum was 10 bpa or less. that was last year for a lot of us in the SW corner of Sask.

Is seeding underway in your area Galaxy ?

Were you getting stuck with the combine? Was the grain needing to be dried? Did your soil lose all its nutrients? Just saying. Because I’ve had single digit crops several times due to extreme wet conditions. With pathetic (relative to recent rates) crop insurance coverage and low grain prices. It’s never fun, dry, or wet. But for equal crops, I’d take dry any day.

Now. Let’s hope you get some of our moisture this year, and we get some of your dry! I would like nothing more than to have some balance!

Must be somewhere that is HAPPY? Warm enough, moist enough, on time with seeding dates?

This is the earliest we’ve branded calves in a long time. Corrals have been too mucky and weather to moist last number of years. Getting a little rain now but won’t slow us down. Get rest of the calves branded and turned out and we’ll be rolling in 5 days. This’ll be the earliest start for a long time.

5...How many days will this take? Taken Just now.

Highest temp so far +4, frozen every night. The snow left is solid ice. Lots of water in dips already.

Yupper. And plus five today is sure making it melt fast, huh? Forecast finally looks like double digits tomorrow. The bit of snowfall today was a nice touch, no? Lol So far in my search of April weather history in this farm, I have not come across many April’s without at least one 20 degree plus day. Found a few with 26 and 27 degrees though. Gives me hope that it wasn’t always this way out here before the glow bull warming.
