This spring is going to see flooding again in Manitoba along the Assinboine River.
Are they preparing or are they going to wait until the last minute again?

Do any senior bureaucraps live on the flood plain? If not they are gonna wait until it is too late.
About twenty years ago I was transferred to Winnipeg for three years. Every year I was there, there was flooding
along the Assiniboine river. Just a little research told me that there is flooding pretty well every year along that river
in Winnipeg. If they didn't have flooding, what the hell would they talk about?

Reading the paper this morning the Okanagan and Kettle Valley snow pack is a
hundred and seventeen percent above what it normally is so if the rest of the
province features a quick thaw there will be trouble. Today for example it is cloudy
and plus 7 melting quickly, That is saying we could have an early spring in the hills
too and that is not good

I think what we need here, Grumpy, is a few hot days, alternating with a couple of cool days until late June!
What you need is for me to come out there and drag your azzes up to Beaver Lake on the western plateau and do some trout hunting.
Nice, clean, oxygen rich water will make for some very agressive fish this yar.
It's -19C right now but the snow is still melting from the massive, hot, March sun.
The snowpack up on the farm is heavier than in 2010/11. The Assinboine is going to look like the Volga again.
In our area, according to Environment Canada, the average snowpack at the end of March is 6 cm. This year it is over 30 cm. This snowpack is equivalent to 30 000 cubic metres of meltwater per km^2, or for an area 100 km x 100 km, approximately 300 million cubic metres. Now, extrapolate for the Souris, Assiniboine, Red drainage areas...
Good-bye Winnipeg; loved those Eaton catalogues.

Our snow pack is 3ft compresed from just over 6ft....ISH and it's all heading to WPG.
Regina's 196 cm (over 6 feet) of snow a new record, weather guru says - Saskatchewan - CBC News
