We get the heavy wet stuff well into May, so I wait until May Long for summers and switch to winters between Thanksgiving and Halloween.

In my experience, your all-season/all-weather "summers" should do just fine in the heavy wet stuff as it is similar to heavy rain. Proper winter tires are for cold temperature plus snow, in almost 20 years, it hasn't done me wrong.
Last year in late April we were in the mid to high 20's ....

Is there anywhere that shows current and historic water levels in various river basins around the province? I would have to think that the drought in the Calgary area has lessened quite a bit with all the moisture we have received lately, but other parts of Alberta are still in dire straights.

Nothing like a good soaking rain to put an end to the drought! Haven't seen rain like that in a long time, holy cow!

Downtown yesterday afternoon, could barely hear my phone over the downpour on the roof lol.
I wonder if we are going to go from talking about drought to flooding in parts of the province, a months worth of rain in the next few days is intense. Good thing it's still falling as snow in the mountains.
Had a good dumping of rain at my place yesterday. I might as well enjoy the green grass while I can!

Speaking of green grass, growing any of that this year? lol
None this year. They're my brother in law's plants, and this year he's taking a break.

Seems like a lot of the forecast rainfall never happened, sad news for areas still in drought.

No we definitely did get significant precipitation
