Spring Flooding

We have seen the news reports of flooding in many areas across the prairies from the spring runoff.  After supper Elaine and I went for a drive to see some of the flooded areas within the city.

 

The golf course is mostly water hazard

We will be heading to North Battleford  next weekend for Easter.   We will likely see what the other areas north of here through the valley are like at that time.   There is a flood risk warning that water could top the highway at Lumsden within the next few days.  Some people are talking about possibly going up to NB via Moose Jaw.  We will wait and see what unfolds the rest of this week.
