Snowpack melt slows in the month of May
KAMLOOPS — The alpine snowmelt slowed during the first two weeks of May, but the BC River Forecast Centre says the snow supply is still alarming low for this time of year.
The Centre’s Dave Campbell says BC has only about 39 per cent of its normal snowpack right now.
Campbell adds the warm spring has resulted in the melt being about one month ahead of schedule.
“It seems to still be the case, and in some ways the last week or two has been a bit cooler, and the melt has probably been a bit slower than it has been, but it’s still ahead of schedule, It’s melting fast,” indicated Campbell.
