Warren Sekulic's crops were flattened under the snow that fell on northern Alberta Wednesday, leaving him in disbelief and more than a little angry.
Warren Sekulic's crops were flattened under the snow that fell on northern Alberta Wednesday, leaving him in disbelief and more than a little angry.
Farmer Warren Sekulic experienced nearly the full spectrum of grief when snow blanketed his crops on Wednesday going from denial, anger, bargaining, to acceptance.

"You're a little bit in disbelief, a little bit angry," he said Thursday, adding, "A whole lot angry maybe. I'm a little younger so maybe I'm a little more hotheaded than my father."

A northern Alberta farmer situated about 70 kilometres north of Grande Prairie — an area which was forecasted to get 10 to 15 cm of snow Wednesday — Sekulic had only heard stories from his grandparents about snow showing up so early in September.

"You just have to accept it or you'll kind of go crazy," he said.

Snowy weather means there will be no farmer's market in Fort Saskatchewan on Thursday (Sept.13).
Snowy weather means there will be no farmer's market in Fort Saskatchewan on Thursday (Sept.13).
The Fort Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce has cancelled Thursday's (Sept.13) farmer's market.

"Unfortunately we've had to make the decision to cancel our farmer's market today due to weather concerns and safety concerns for both our vendors and for everyone in the community who comes out to the market," chamber sales and events coordinator Erin Duncan said.

The last market of the year happens next Thursday. The event will include a fundraiser in support of the Fort Saskatchewan Food Bank. The pottery guild will have 200 handmade bowls for sale filled with either soup mix or a soup voucher from a local restaurant, with all proceeds going to the food bank.

"We sure hope to see everybody next week on September 20 for our last market of the season," Duncan added.

Autumn is completely skipped over as snowfall hits Alberta and British Columbia

Summer isn't even officially over, so most of us hope means that snow won't be turning up for a couple more months.

So while this Wednesday was simply just a day of the week for most Canadians, for people in British Columbia and northern Alberta, it marked the death of autumn—before it technically began.

Despite Environment Canada issuing plenty of freezing rain and snow warnings for the next several days for B.C. and central and northern Alberta, it was still hard to fathom that fall was essentially cancelled. With some public statements warning of 10 and 15 centimetres of snowfall, it's fair to say that winter is here. As of Thursday, snowfall warnings are still in effect for Banff and Jasper National park areas in Alberta.

Residents of Grande Prairie and the surrounding area woke up to a bit of a winter wonderland Wednesday as mother nature hit the region with some snowfall.

The snow tapered off in the evening, and the snowfall warning has ended, but not before setting a record.

According to Environment Canada, 10.6 cm of snow fell Wednesday setting the record.

Since the government agency started keeping track in 1942, no snow had fallen on September 12th in Grande Prairie, up until yesterday.

It almost seems like summer in the Okanagan ended in July.

August was smoked out by area forest fires, and once the smoke cleared the sun did come out, but temperatures began to drop.

But it could be worse - a lot worse.

Just ask our cousins in Northern B.C., who woke up Wednesday morning to a blanket of snow.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.

But in the case of snow in September, it's safe to say most Albertans would prefer some distance.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for Edmonton Wednesday, warning that a cold front is coming down from the Northwest Territories and invading Alberta, bringing snow with the heaviest amounts expected over the west-central part of the province, particularly between Grande Prairie and Jasper.

Snowfall warnings are in effect for the Grande Prairie, Grande Cache and Jasper regions.

Adapt 2030 Ice Age Report: Blackhawk Choppers at Solar Observatory and 75% crop losses Australia

crops down
Solar Observatory closed without explanation, what did the facility do, study the Sun, then instantly, facility evacuated indefinitely. Makes you wonder what did they discover.

Australian crop production down 46% this year, but 75% from 2011. What about next year when less will be grown due to the intensifying drought?

Japan record early cold.
