The temperatures may be rising and rain on the way but the Grand River Conservation Authority doesn’t believe we’ll have major flooding to worry about.
Communications Manager Dave Schultz tells 570 News that we could see some localized problems in urban areas, but most of the water will be soaked up by the snow already on the ground.
“We could see some ice movement or a lot of tree debris movement that could block bridges and underpasses…that could cause localized flooding as well as the issue with storm drain catch basins that are probably iced over.”
Schultz reminds all to stay away from rivers, streams, lakes and ponds as they will be dangerous the next few days.
