A word of caution to those that might be heading out bear hunting or fishing during the next few days. Throughout the southern half of B.C., there is going to be a combination of high temperatures and warm rain, so be careful that you don't go into an area that the rapidly melting snow waters could wash out your road. If you're in, or going into an area where the water is quite high, try to be out by noon, before the day's melt rises the streams much higher.

Good advice, we've been dealing with the water at work already. Some of the creeks are really starting to run.

Some localized mid-elevation packs are 5 to 6 times normal for this time of year
Blue River, Aberdeen Plateau
Ferguson if 162 % of normal
Things are going to get messy once that slurpee starts sliding downhill
