Hot flashes changed how I feel about winter . Of course, we have that so-called dry cold they use to convince you -40 really isn't that bad.
I used to hate winter with a passion but then we used to have great summers. We haven't had a good summer here several years running now and this is the first time ever that I am wishing for winter and snow to put an end to memory of mud, disastrous crops, mosquitoes, standing water everywhere, and put a temporary end to some of the work that accompanies farming. I am dead tired.
There is still work in the winter, and the temperatures can make it uncomfortable and difficult, but it is still a chance to catch my breath.
I really feel for you netwit. I've lived on a farm, and the work never ends. Mny areas of the prairies were flooded out again this year...I hope next year will be better.

Me too.
Can this year's floods will have a beneficial impact on water tables next summer?
I'm not sure how Prairie hydrological cycles work.
Toronto typically is only deficient in precip for 1-2 seasons in our worst droughts.
Beyond that, even if we are below-normal annually,
you wouldn't know because we generally have an abundance of moisture and everything greens up quickly.

The water tables have been high for at least four years (the last dry summer we had was 5 years ago, and that was preceded by several years of very wet summers) now from too much rain. It's just never dried up enough to tolerate even normal rainfall levels. Everyone wanted to go hunting on our land this year due to the migrating geese and ducks taking advantage of fields turned into lakes. (I don't allow hunting - just using it as an example of how much water there was).
Even a nice fall like we have had October until now isn't enough to dry up the land. We've had highs in the 12 - 15C range but that is expected to change as of today, with flurries expected tonight.
not to bad today was 14 degrees and sunny here in vancouver
had a little frost this morning but turned into an awsome day pretty much jeans and a light sweatshirt type weather
Personally I love snow (even though I had to shovel my driveway everytime and some bad experience with driving) and sometimes want it more. Cold is okay, as long as it's not too bad. But when it gets too windy I really hate it. I prefer -15 degree with no wind over 0 degree with 30km/h wind.

I would prefer 110 km/h winds at 30 degrees C to either of those.

Yes. The water tables are very high. They are talking about flooding in parts of Manitoba in very early spring. People have already started sandbagging. It's just unreal. Very sad for those who try to live off the land.
