Now, this spring is looking like the opposite. It could be the wettest spring in history. Meteorologists are telling farmers to get their crops in at every opportunity they have. Forecast is for below average temperatures and above average precipitation. Not good considering the amount of snow around.

Wow that's a lot different than they're predicting here in Edmonton this year. Just checked the Farmer's Almanac yesterday (which is usually eerily accurate), and they're calling for a dry, colder than normal spring and dry, colder than normal summer (with a hot spot in late July), followed by a warmer than usual Sept/Oct (who cares).
I was surprised to hear how dry it was supposed to be here, considering how much precipitation we've had the past calendar year. Weird what a difference it makes being in the open prairies compared to the foothills (either that or the Farmer's Almanac is OTL this year).
