Today's Weather Trivia:
2007: Cool temperatures had a moderating effect on spring snowmelt in BC's
Fraser Valley. Only 18% of the melt water had passed through the lower
reaches, well below the normal of 25%. Officials distributed sandbags to
communities along the Fraser. Two days of heavy rain in the upper watersheds
added 2,000 cubic metres per second of water cascading down the river.
