Huge puddles,riverbanks overflowing and hectic driving in the GTA; all a result of a spring wintry storm that dumped 40 to 80 millimetres of precipitation on Waterloo Region.
The result of the double whammy systems that passed through the region first with snow, then freezing rain, finishing off with rain, has prompted flooding concerns from the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA). The authority issued warnings for both Kitchener and Cambridge areas due to fast-moving water and overflow.
The aftermath of the systems has resulted in a mess across Waterloo Region.
