B.C. Snowpack at Record or Near-record Levels - 7 May 07 -
And the snow is still accumulating!
With snowpacks in British Columbia’s northern and central Interior at record or near-
record levels, including areas which feed major rivers such as the Peace and the Fraser,
provincial emergency officials are praying for bad weather.
A cool, wet April has continued the snow season, and snow is still accumulating in most
of the mountainous areas of the province. Minor flooding has started in the Northern Interior
and provincial ministries and utilities are braced for the worst.

Farmers and ranchers have been given information on flood management, including advice
on how to deal with livestock if waters begin to rise.

Local governments and emergency officials are holding meetings and setting up training
sessions around the province.

Interesting how the media doesn’t like to acknowledge record snowfall.

I know it means really nothing, but this counters whats going on in Europe. With the Super cold April in the east and southeast. These area's are growing. ITs fair game. I think for April the southern Hem should rank above tenth,,,In the north about 8-9th. That should kill any chance unless we see a very much above avg June-Dec. We will see...

Warmer climate leads to more moisture in the atmosphere which leads to more precipitation in some regions.

What's your point?

Europe is probably more above average then America is below I suspect, plus you've got the atlantic ocean which is nearly compeltely above average bar a little patch near newfoundland.
