Mercury and Water Rising

Finally hit double digits on the plus side of 0 this week. Yay!

With the higher temps the ice is melting off the river.  I've been checking the Environment Alberta website this week and have watched the water flows go from 3.784m to 5.704m at the Edmonton monitoring site.  With all the spring run off the water is running high and fast.

If you are going out to the River Valley this weekend be aware of the water levels and the slippery muddy slopes.

We plan on taking a hike down the trail between the Fort Edmonton Foot Bridge and the Terwillager Dog Park.  Last year Ken spent a day down there and found some colour and a busted cell phone ready for recycle.  Wonder what the ice has scraped up this year?


Will let you know on Monday what we found.

Happy Panning
