Snow depth and water content are well below seasonal averages at the snow survey sites measured by the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority as part of its flood forecasting program.
“Snow depths have decreased since our last survey, due in part to the warm weather and rain we had late last week,” said Joel Harrison, Water Resources Specialist at NBMCA.
Snow is measured for depth and water equivalence in North Bay, Corbeil and Chisholm Twp. Data for the season can be found on the NBMCA website at www.nbmca.ca. The next snow survey date is February 1, 2018.
