I came home from Edmonton lastnight and south of Niton Jct you could see a good size smoke column from the Highway.
There has been lots of aircraft activity on Friday and Saturday.

Woke up this morning too find out that we're getting light rains in our area...

Things are starting too green up alot...

Last drizel was a 1/4",,, hopefully the same this time around...

We don't see much popping up in the fields yet,,, fingers crossed...

Fairly dry on top, moisture down below is slowly dissipating...
