We are over 3/4" so far today, standing water everywhere, I finished spraying the first pass on the canola this morning, it was too windy but had to be done. The volunteer wheat has heads 5" long on it! Herbicides are going to have to work hard this year. I think the hail a few days ago knocked out some of the canola, it was only 1" tall, so a direct hit would take it out. I didn't call hail insurance because I doubt they would do anything about it. Apparently Co-op hail is shutting down at noon tomorrow, my guy says I am under insured at $400/ac so I should get more.

Would you believe that we had frost again this morning? 😑 Say it ain’t so ? We were down to 8c this morning . I remember my uncle said one year it got below 0 c for at least one day all months of the year . I forget the year . I believe it was in the 60s. That was in the rrv. I could see it reach 0 more often in the peace river !

I don't know what it was here this morning, ever since environment Canada has seemed to pull the plug on being able to access a remote weather station this spring I can't get such information. What I can access is Grande Prairie and Peace River and they were 8 and 5c respectively as lows this morning. While on the cool side that is not unusual for this area looking back through some years of data.

Might sound odd but , a lot of the rain I got in my area was without any hail, lightening or thunder . Some years I have got intense thunder and lightening storms but not much for rain . The big difference is cool weather to not spark any thing severe . Even last year I heard more thunder !
YET !!! Hopefully weather stays calm !

Would you believe that we had frost again this morning? 😑 That's not funny. We had frost once in the beginning of July. The reason why people remember it so well was because a couple had an outdoor wedding reception. The place was close to the Athabasca river, but still!

Would you believe that we had frost again this morning? 😑 I would. We have a forecast low of 5C tonight and I had a light coat on most of the day today. Better keep that fire in your avatar going!

Another 2” this morning. I think we’re around 11.5 “ since middle of May.

Looked darker to the south this morning. Fortunately we’ve missed any rain they were calling for today, so far. Cooler and breezy today, was 10 this morning, maybe 17 right now. I think this is the longest stretch we’ve gone this year without any rain, last rain was Thursday, so four days I guess.
I bought a rain gauge Friday hoping that doing so would stop all the rain, so far it’s working 👍

Yesterday was a nice day. Sunny 22 with a slight breeze for our 4-H clubs achievement day. Then had a 1/4” of rain overnight. Cloudy and cool today.

Getting a little frustrating here, nothing happening for spraying or haying as fields are soggy. Pictures taken Saturday, it has rained twice since then with chance of rain almost every day going forward. Lots of low lying acres either gone or struggling. I think I see sprayer ruts in the future, maybe should have bought that spray drone at Ag-Days...

Well my rain gauge trick didn’t work long. 2.1 inches last night 😡. Haven’t gone for a drive yet but I don’t imagine it’s going to be good.
