Looks cyclical to me. Patterns are everywhere like the frequency and intensity of vitriol of a someone’s posts.

did some more "local" study.

was a period in late 1800s a shocking run 8 year drought and again in early 1900s. 1912/13 shockers.

these extended droughts continued to mid 40s on and off

but between the droughts above average years which over time meant average falls yeah dumb statement.

But since 40 weather has calmed down not quiute so much variability sure droughts here and there wet here and there but vaiabilty lessened a little.

but 60s to early 70s was a period with many summer thunderstorms and again in 90s

just last week was with lad hmmm look at that sky gonna rain sometime today, "you been drinking beer this morning" was just a few wispy clouds, checked phone temps rising huge dew point and just hint of convection. Look at that one and that one i said, "clean your glasses dad"

Sure enough within 90 minutes black as a dogs guts dropped 25 mm on us perfrect early start

maybe glenn is right climate change is real but not seeing it much here was my point if it is its seemingly good for me

Edit back to shearing shed we have a german chick shearing going ok doing about 80. equal opportunity shed eh

The fossil record in western Canada indicates massive droughts approximately 1000 years ago which saw the North Saskatchewan River dwindle to a trickle. Evidence of buffalo skeletons in mass quantities around river banks showing they starved to death along with natives. I’m more concerned with this kind of stuff happening because it’s happened before with no help from mankind. A volcanic eruption in the 1800’s caused a cooling which caused all sorts of strife and conflict across the world. No fault of humans neither. The climate change alarmists thinking falling on our sword will fix things is the same as the ancients who figured sacrificing children to the sun god in Aztec Mexico would break the drought.
