The weather in 2019 felt extreme… It snowed until the middle of June, rained most of the summer with cool temperatures, and got very cold by the end of September (-15C). It also hailed many many times.
We looked at the Alberta Agriculture weather statistics. Here’s some interesting info! It shows big variation over the past three years – hence our obsession with water storage!
