Lakehead conservation authority watching snow depth and water content's risk for spring flooding

It's too early to predict flooding, but the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority is keeping a close eye on snow depth in the Thunder Bay area. Measurements taken Tuesday at three LRCA monitoring stations found the current snow depth ranging between 65 and 84 centimetres. That's 54 per cent greater than the average depth measured on March l over the past 48 years. The surveys were done near McVicar Creek in the city, the Pennock Drive area in Rosslyn, and at Hazelwood Lake.
