Warning! It Could Be A Bad Weekend...

Was out today and the water was up from yesterday. Didn't take any pics and just shot one video.


So, just got 'Special Weather Statement from Environment Canada'. Crazy part is, it's valid from about 5PM Friday, until get this.... 8PM Tuesday night!
AND, like I have said. Winter is never quite over until June AND in this 'Weather Statement' it says we MAY see snow... HA! Welcome to the butthole of Canada, seems we're having a bit of diarrhea! Haha!

Here's the bulletin from Environment Canada for Fredericton (There's also warnings for other parts of the Province, including Saint John and Bathurst).

"Two more rainfall events are expected, one for tonight, and the next beginning on Sunday.
The first event will be caused by a low that will pass north of the province tonight. Rain will begin in the west this evening and move east across the province. The rain will end over most areas in the morning. Rainfall amounts are expected to be 20 to 30 mm in
the north, with locally higher amounts possible due to thundershowers tonight. Rainfall warnings are in effect over the northern part of New Brunswick.

In the south rainfall amounts will be up to 20 mm, but there is also a slight possibility of thundershowers in the southwest corner of the province giving higher amounts. Finally, after the low passes, strong west to northwesterly winds are expected Saturday morning, possibly gusting to 60 kilometres per hour over open areas, then gradually diminishing in the afternoon.

After this there will be little or no precipitation until late Sunday, when another disturbance will give mainly rain that will end on Monday morning. However, over northern New Brunswick this will be mixed with or change to light snow. There is still some uncertainty in rainfall amounts or location, but at this time are expected to be between 10 to 20 mm for northern New Brunswick, and snowfall amounts should be very light. Lesser amounts are expected further south.
After this, conditions should improve, with no rain expected for most of next week.

Due to the generally saturated soil conditions for most of the province, and remaining snow pack in the northern part of the province, the rainfall expected tonight and Sunday night will cause water levels to rise or at least stay constant into early next week
."

Should be an entertaining weekend.....
