Local area – low in snowpack – normal run off predicted

Okanagan/ Kettle River Region lowest snowpack in BC – sitting at 81 percent.

Many areas of the province have 150% snowpack levels and even higher.

At this stage the two main issues are the below-normal snow packs and seasonal flow outlooks for the South Interior, particularly the Okanagan (and the potential for water supply issues into the summer of 2012), and the above-normal snow packs (and potential for increased spring flood risk) in the Upper Fraser, Nechako, Peace, and Skeena-Nass regions, and the Fraser River basin as a whole.
