How to ensure you get rain when the sky's all around you are black and you are bone dry ??? Let hubby and the pup go out and check the fence (on foot) so you can hopefully kick the girls out next week.. They got drenched about 1/2 a mile in ... :lol: Love, love that rain.. :p

Nikki is pooped after her little escapade and couldn't even make it to a comfortable position before she crashed.

Good for you guys! Rain is always welcome around here. Some days I feel just like your dog and just crash where I happen to land.

Are your hubby and dog available for a little site specific work at any time in the future? Good to see that you're all wet. :wink: :)

What was really nice is that after the down pour is that the clouds cleared and the sun was shining, things should really grow now. I spoke to my mom tonight in the city (red deer) and they got nothing so we sure are grateful for even that 1 ml.

Per, he should have done that everyday last summer, as the one time he went out with our beloved Steffie and checked the cows on foot they both got drenched as well by a freak rain storm, the only real moisture we had in June.

Dylan, mom (me) got to towel her off and she spent a good hour in her kennel on a few of our bath towels to dry off, she was not too happy about it and didn't sleap until I let her out. As you can see her feet are spotless and before this little escapade she spent a couple of hours earlier with me in the corral with the cows and was very very dirty.

Nickle's is going through a growth spurt right now at almost 6 months old and you can literally see the difference every day by how tall her legs are getting. The "cow dog" is crashed right now on our sofa.. Yep, my pup is not too spoiled.. :roll: BUT, I can live with it ; she sure has made me smile alot since we got her on Christmas eve.. :heart:

Snow is in the forecast starting tonight as well as an extreme wind warning gusts up t0o 100 km an hour. Will take the snow but that wind just reeks havoc.

Hold on Per, sounds like your area is going to get hit hard again with the wind.

Stay safe everyone.

Details
An intense low pressure disturbance currently in British Columbia will track across Southern Alberta today and lie over Southwestern Saskatchewan by Tuesday morning. South of the low strong westerly winds 70 gusting 100 km/h will develop in the Crowsnest Pass and Cardston regions by early afternoon. The strong westerly winds will then spread eastward to the Lethbridge Medicine Hat Cypress Hills and Southern Brooks regions by late afternoon. The strong winds will persist throughout the day and overnight into Tuesday. As the low progresses eastward strong northwest winds 60 gusting 90 km/h will develop in the wake of the low. The strong northwest winds will develop in the Red Deer region this evening then gradually spread southward affecting the Hanna Drumheller Airdrie Okotoks and the Brooks regions by midnight. The City of Calgary will mainly be affected during the overnight period. The strong northwest winds behind the low will begin to diminish Tuesday afternoon. In addition rain associated with the disturbance will change to wet snow overnight. Precipitation will first change to snow in northern areas near midnight and then gradually move southward overnight. Much of the snow will melt on contact with the ground however accumulations may be as high as 5 centimetres in some areas. The strong winds combined with the falling snow will also generate blowing snow giving poor visibilities at times.

It's windy here today, with snow squalls off and on. Nothing sticking, and probably not enough to amount to any measurable precip. :?

I guess Nikki can't figure out why you keep shrinking the step. :lol: I've got a dog that can crash in some uncomfortable looking positions too. She can curl up into an iddy biddy ball or stretch out forever.

Just before dark we got another stiff dry north wind. Baled some hay today and cut some too. Pretty skimpy stuff, about a half ton per acre. What I cut today might go a ton/acre.

Glad you are getting some moisture.
