Good morning Riley,
So, the calm after the storm. Everything appears to be just fine. The snow pretty well all melted as of Monday and we had two frost scares as well that didn't seem to materialize. The peas seem fine as does the wheat. Total water seems hard to gauge as not all the snow ended up in the rain gauge. I think it was close to 2 inches myself based on the standing water that I saw, Dad thinks a bit less but one guy I was talking to yesterday on the Shaftsbury Trail (E and SE of where I live, maybe 15 miles) said his rain gauge had 4 1/2 inches in it!
Either way, really welcome water and it it appears no damage to the crops so outside of the loss of a few growing days, maybe a week at most, we lucked out and things are looking really good. Showers again forecast for tomorrow which is probably OK as it will not result in any more flooding.
Maybe the camshaft is back on the table??!! Still three months and harvest to go though and house hunting now that my gf is working in Fairview that will be competing with $ allocations.........
So ya, missed the bullet on what could have been a wreck it seems!
Cheers,
Garry
