OT Manitoba weather

It is a surprise to me, but we haven't had a fall frost yet. It will happen this week though. Will be two weeks later than normal. It hung on longer than normal last year too. The guys that grow grain corn and soybeans do well in years like this. Our more traditional crops (wheat, barley, canola) yielded exceptionally well this year with very little in season rainfall. Zero or minimum tillage worked well (once again). Conventional not so well. Just can't afford to lose much moisture in the seeding process (in SW Manitoba).
 
The SW is usually dry, similar to North Dakota, but fewer hot days, but remember our summer days are longer. Also there is only farming in the south half of Manitoba, but a look at a map shows a big province. If Minnesota thought it had a lot of lakes, well....
 
Manitoba is wet, dry, and every where inbetween. SE is wet. SW is dry. Interlakes is WET. West of Interlake is good but can be dry at times. Immediately above SW and SE is really nice farm land with adequate moisture and includes the Red River Calley which floods every spring but has some of Manitoba's nicest farmland. Not to sure about east of the Interlakes.
 
We just had our first frost in the Saskatoon, SK area last night (down to -3 C in our yard). I imagine it is headed your way.
