LEAFY SPURGE To anyone who is getting all a flutter over the possibility the Red River Valley will experience major flooding in the spring of 2009. Near-record snowfall in December coupled with above-average rainfall prior to freeze-up have some people concerned. It’s possible a combination of factors could – could – result in serious flooding. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Flood forecasts in December are preliminary at best. The water content of winter’s snowpack will change dramatically between now and spring thaw. Weather conditions during the melt will be among the major factors that determine the extent of flooding. Spring rainfall could change the picture. At this point, the chances of flooding reported last week are not locked in stone – or ice, as it were. Let’s look again in February, and then determine whether there is cause for alarm.
