Cold?

It is not only about the cold and winters here in Edmonton and meanwhile Leduc. As you can see on the picture it can be pretty hot here too. The sun is shining directly onto it, but still. My car-temp-sensor showed 32 degrees Celcius while driving. Temperature wise we went from minus 35 in January to plus 32 in July, a difference of 67 degrees. And no rain. Quite something else compared to Holland. It feels like a hot summer day in southern Spain this week.
There is officially a drought now here in Leduc-County and most likely in many parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Last week it rained some, and you could see the crops grow. But this week has been extremely hot and dry, the fields are not watered at all. Too large? Not enough water? I have been told they let nature do its cause. I have no clue. I will try to find out.
