Abnormal Inactivity

The title sounds like a spinoff of the horror movie, and frankly, it is - at least for the prairie stormchasers such as myself. For reasons I am unsure of, the spring has been active all across the prairies (especially the Winnipeg region) -- except for SE Saskatchewan. The Saskatoon region has already received spring storms.

However, with severe season about to kick in, both of my prime locations have been stormless. Not a crack of thunder to be heard.
Professional chasers and role models such as Roger Hill promises me a very active June and July - I am sadly finding this harder to believe each day.

A possible cause of the lack of activity is the lack of daytime heat. Only a few days now have reached into the twenties. The lows have still been dipping down to near-zero temperatures. Trends are showing the below-normal temps to continue.

Will the severe season even come? Stay tuned!
