Back to normal...snow depth

Snow depth is normal for this time of the year at the three snow survey sites measured by the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority as part of its flood forecasting program.

“The snow depth has decreased about 20% since the last snow survey two weeks ago and the equivalent water content has dropped over 40%.  A slow melt and reduction of water content means we’ll have less runoff from snow.  We’ll continue monitoring the five-day forecast and current conditions to assess the impact of any rainfall on the melt and potential for flooding,” said  Sue Buckle, Supervisor of Communications and Outreach.
