April 19th	Weekend
	Spectacular weather continues

High pressure still dominate weather picture

	Snow Pack

	Skeena River runoff
	While some data missing – March April looks to be below (see black arrow) normal (colder temperatures keeping waters frozen in various tributaries?) ---the pink arrow seems to argue ‘record’ runoff (storm event?) last December Source River data Skeena at Usk

	Last 30 days precip at PR airport
	Fairly dry month if not for the 11^th of April where measured 35.5mm at airport

March of spring little late in Hecate
