We have had rainfall in Edmonton but it is nothing like what has been experienced in southern Alberta these past few days. I guess that goes for southern Saskatchewan and into Manitoba as well. As the expression goes, there is always someone better off AND worse off than you. That is playing out in the weather this week.
Although Edmonton is watching the river levels in the North Saskatchewan River and expecting to see a rise of 3+ meters this weekend, it hopefully will not be anything like what is happening in southern Alberta.
Last week, we cancelled our camping trip as the weather was so poor (rain, rain and more rain) and throw in a tornado as well! This week it has been raining but every other day the sun comes out! It will be sunny in the morning and rain in the afternoon or the other way around. It makes for great cloud formations and sky watching but not great camping weather!
Next week we are heading to Alberta Beach for a weekend of camping but like St. Albert's Rainmaker Rodeo in June each year, the usual prediction of rain for the July long weekend will likely come to pass! Hopefully this year it will be different (not sure why except we are going there)! Rain or sunshine, we will be there as summer is too short to wait for the perfect day and our trailer is beckoning to be taken away from the driveway!
