When looking ahead to the spring, the BC River Forecast Centre doesn’t have much to worry about for the time-being.

The latest data shows the snowpack in the region is pretty much normal for this time of year.

Hydrologist Jonathan Boyd says if there was any area of concern at the moment would be around Cache Creek as the Lower Thompson snowpack is at 130 per cent of normal.

“Some concerns especially around Cache Creek and the Bonaparte and areas in the Nicola,” he said on the NL Morning News. “It would be concerning of course if we continue with this cold weather and then get a hot period of five to seven days in mid to late April.”

Snowpack levels in the North Thompson are at 91 per cent of normal while the South Thompson is at 105 per cent of normal.

“On Feb. 1 the North Thompson was actually at 63 per cent of normal, so well below normal and when we get that low, its a positive in the sense that there is very limited risk for flooding, but it leads to potential drought or wildfire concerns,” Boyd said.

“So the ideal situation of course is normal snowpack and then kind of a delayed melt period.”

The South Thompson snowpack was at 86 per cent of normal in February, while the province wide average in March was at 94 per cent normal, up from 79 per cent in February.

The province is scheduled to release it’s next Snow Survey and Water Supply bulletin on April 12.
