Updated 14-day forecast has up to 70 mm of rain between the 8th and 10th. Holy cow. Doubt it’ll happen, but who knows. That’s flood levels of rainfall. Especially if our ground remains saturated.

I read an article where the writer interviewed some Alberta farmers. While they welcomed the wet snow in recent weeks, they said it is not nearly enough moisture for the soil. The heat from last summer and a fairly dry fall was devastating for future growing conditions. We need that rain on the prairie. What we don't want to see is heavy rain in the mountains on top of the snow pack..... shades of 2013!

I'm not seeing much rain in the long term forecast as of this morning. We definitely need a lot more than we have had, we are in a full on drought right now.

A high of 27 currently forecast for next Thursday! Doubt we will get that warm, but nice to see summer weather in the forecast!
I'm seeing 28 on forecast EC, so I'm going with that one 
Yes, summer weather will be so nice. By next weekend the city will noticeably more green.

Looks like putting my summer tires on last weekend did not curse us to 2 more snowstorms.
A bit of progress the last pic

Update of my pic 4 days ago… multiple other species starting to green too. Lilacs fixing to burst everywhere! 
Some forecast models have us hitting friggin 30 on Thursday! Regardless, two days in the high 20s first week of May is remarkable. Crazier though is that our April average high will be about a degree lower than March.

Even this weekend a couple of sunny days at +16 will be nice. Anything over 20 is gonna feel like a heat wave lol.

45 days at/above 10°, 9 days at/above 15°, and 1 day above 20° in the first 4 months of the year. Not too shabby.
Good enough for Dandelions to be out. I’ve got a few of them in my yard
