Lake Country Calendar – April 3, 2018
A record-high snowpack has raised concerns about the potential for widespread flooding across the Okanagan Valley this spring.
But while the snow levels are worrisome, the most important weather factor is how fast it will melt, says Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board.
Where last spring saw extreme snow and rainfall conditions in March and April that caused Okanagan Lake to overflow, it’s anticipated this spring the streams feeding into the lake will be of greater concern to area residents.
