When does the WM radar activate again? It would be really nice to be able to start tracking these cells again.

Theirs is the "Olds" one highlighted in red(off). it's not running yet, they are just displaying EC data. But a good sign the site is running, maybe they'll switch theirs on soon.

Looks like the Olds radar isn't operating yet but they are giving readings out of strathmore.

To those new to the program an instruction sheet of sorts is at the link below:

It definitely made the de-thatching and raking a pain in the ass with dry grass blowing everywhere.

Buy the house at/near the top of the hill. Let the wind and gravity take care of everything.

Left the windows open last night for a nice cool breeze and the smoke rolled in pretty heavy this morning. This is the first day that I can really smell the smoke from the fires.

In Edmonton, it's like a light fog right now. you can feel the smoke in your eyes and taste it when you take a breath. And it's only May. Going to be a really bad year here in Alberta.
