Snow for Alberta?

[SASKFARMER3]

This came over the wire this morning is it possible for snow for alberta today or tonight?
Come on MC how is the Canola doing under the Pivot? And is it going to snow?

[SASKFARMER3]

Wait I had a second cup of coffee and read it again. Crap south Canada Prairie braces for June snow. World weather Inc.

Forecast is for -5 Sunday night here-SW AB. Would be 3rd frost on canola! Other 2 frosts not over whole fields but can definitely find damage from hurt plants to total burn off to nothing at all. Snow maybe would be good if it gets that cold for the canola but what would happen to the Fall Wheat?

Minus 3 here at 5am. Canola all still looks good yet but coming up very slow, was perhaps a good year to blow the engine. My canola mostly is just about to break the surface, Still doing post planting burnoff.

We had .25 in of sleet last night in a thunderstorm. forecast for 1 C tonight. Canola in first true leaf, but growing very slowly. The winter wheat should be allright . Canola will become cold tolerant if subject to light frosts and cool temp. Worse if you get high temp and then a frost.

SW-MB low of .8C last night. Did not see any frost on the deck but it was very close to it.

[Hopperbin]

There is now a 4 day rain forecast for Swift Current, can we have some?

[Hopperbin]

Plus 2 at 9;30pm anyone else getting this?

[agstar77]

We are at 39 F at 11:30 pm. Calling for 28 F Tonight. The CWB weatherbug sites tell quite a tale of different temps, even 5 miles apart.

[Hopperbin]

Ok in the one hour since my last post it is now .25 above. neighbour had plus 3 when I had minus 3 last night.

[agstar77]

Correction 34F.

[Hopperbin]

Correction now 0

WOW. Play by play weather.

[SASKFARMER3]

OK after the last few really crappy nights and low temps here is what I found. Canola damage is quite evident. Lots of plants are gone hell whole rows are gone. Will recheck Monday then probably reseed some acres. 500 to 1000. One neighbor with Ag Degree is reseeding 1000 acres out of his 5000 canola. Another is reseeding his whole canola crop. It seems the Thursday frost was the most severe.

S/F, what are you reseeding to? Is everyone seeing the same thing out there? Heavy stb feilds are by far the worst here for canola and peas. SMF canola is better - 1/2 the damage of stb crops. Lentils look as bad as anything, they should regrow we still have good soil moisture but in our part of the world they may still be flowering in mid-sept now. Wheat barley and canary are even showing signs of cold stress.
Canola on pea stb was not too bad except on feilds where the stb filled in the furrows from the constant heavy winds.
