Bill if you had frost there today then if I'm not mistaken this is the 12th month in a row for frost somewhere in the growing areas of Western Canada. We had frost in August last year on our wheat here.

Picked up propane at the lake for another cold night this is just plain nuts. Ran out last night. Crop is awsome for early june. Oh crap to many ppops its july 10 or 11.

Three nights ago frost sc****d off windsheilds in Hanna and roofs white.

Alberta is 3 weeks behind in many areas.

We need Sun Spots in a hurry!

Off todays DTN Midsession report:

"The declines in canola were limited in part by concerns
over the cool temperatures across much of western Canada
during the weekend.
There were reports of frost late last week in a number of
canola growing regions in Alberta and with readings again
dropping to near the freezing level during the weekend, there
were ideas that fields in low lying areas may have suffered
some additional damage, brokers said.
"If we're almost getting frost in the middle of July, how
will we get through August?" a broker asked noting that "we'll
need to be frost free well into September to get this crop in
decent shape."

David Phillips, from Environment Canada stated today on CJME 980, that if July were to end today (July 13), this July would be the Coldest July recorded in Saskatchewan since official records have been kept, something like 128 years! Not a good combination to have, with crops that are 2-3 weeks behind.

For what it's worth he also predicted warmer than usual August/ Sept.

3 inches of rain in Davidson yesterday and today with almost 6 inches East of town

So... is this goofy weather to be blamed on Global Warming? The seasons seem to be off at least a month. Still no sun spots I'd guess or excessive CO2 any where in Canada. 12C today for a high with that wicked NW wind, doubt a low of 5 or 6C.
