This week we had a cold snap with a light dusting of snow.
It stuck on the ground long enough for a few good shots against the clearing sky.
A March 11 bulletin from the
British Columbia Ministry of Environment states that the snowpack for the
South Coast is well below normal (63%). Peak snow accumulation will be over by mid-April, so there isn't much time left.
That doesn't bode well for river and lake levels this summer. Right now, Powell Lake is almost at it's lowest level since our arrival in 2001, and it's only March.
Low water input combined with high water extraction for electrical generation is going to make it difficult for many float cabin owners. Our cabin is in 80' of water, but others have much less depth to work with. Unfortunately, beached floats can be easily damaged. -- Margy
