No logs FLOOD UPDATE

sorry
business keeps me from adding more stuff to the Blog it may be a few more days before I GET BACK TO THE bLOG BUISNESS.

On average, the levels of Shuswap Lake, Mara Lake, and Little Shuswap Lake are consistent in height.

As of today, the recording gauges on Shuswap Lake indicate the lake level has reached 348.22 metres, or
reached the 1 in 2 Year Flood Return Level.

While there is still substantial snow pack left at the high elevations, the weather is cooperating and the melt is
not flowing down too quickly at the moment. Environment Canada is not forecasting any significant changes
to the weather pattern for the next 5-6 days that has the potential to radically alter the rate of snowpack melt.

However, with the remaining snow levels, there is a strong likelihood the level of Shuswap Lake may rise to
reach the 1 in 5 Year Flood Return Level, or 348.7 metres, similar to where the lake peaked in 2008.

The 1 in 5 Year Flood Return Level could be reached in 10 – 15 days, depending on the weather.

Lakeshore property owners are advised to take all necessary actions to minimize potential impacts to their
property and docks due to the high lake levels and potential wave action.
